Arsenal vs West Ham 26.12.2022

After the thrills and excitement of the global showpiece in Qatar, top-flight football resumes in the English Premier’s traditional Boxing Day action. In one of the highly anticipated fixtures, leaders Arsenal take on fellow Londoners West Ham United. For the Gunners, the hunt for a first league title in over a decade seem to be going well so far having garnered enough wins to stay 5 points clear at the summit. Here, they will be looking for a third straight win against the Hammers so as to keep Man City at bay.

For West Ham, it has been a challenging season so far. Having earned just 14 points in 15 games, Moyes’ side are 16th on the log, 1 point above the red line. To avoid the hassle that comes with the battle for survival in the latter part of the season, they must seek a quick turnaround in earnest.

Looking at how Arsenal have dominated past meetings, we are backing the Gunners to win or draw with at least 3 goals scored.
