A Crucial Game In London
It is another crucial game of the EPL with both teams, West Ham and Arsenal, desperate to win for reasons diametrically opposite. The London Stadium, home to the Hammers, is welcoming Arsenal, the Gunners, this evening.
Arsenal & West Ham In A Must-Win Situation
Arsenal need a win to ensure that they remain on course for the EPL title, which has eluded them for a long, long time. While West Ham have their Premiere League status hanging by a thread. A loss will further push them into relegation, but a win will let them live to fight another day.
The Gunners Are In A Great Frame of Mind
Arsenal are in a great frame of mind, having qualified for the UEFA Champions League Final with a hard-fought victory over Atletico Madrid. In the Gunners’ previous EPL game, they had emphatically beaten Fulham 3-0.
The Hammers Are Struggling
For West Ham, the Hammers were beaten comprehensively by Brentford, and the advantage which they gained by beating Everton was completely vaporised. It will be an uphill task for West Ham to have a crack at Arsenal.
Bukayo Saka & Viktor Gyökeres Have Lifted Arsenal
The return of Bukayo Saka has greatly strengthened Arsenal, and they now look like a more dangerous side than they did a few weeks ago. Saka’s pace, ball control and ability to score have given Arsenal a big boost. Not to forget the imperious form of Viktor Gyökeres. David Raya in goal has also been sensational, along with the defensive strength of Arsenal.
The Hammers Too Have Jared Bowen & Callum Wilson
The Hammers too have some brilliant players in Jared Bowen, Soucek and Callum Wilson to take the fight to the opposition, but do they have the depth to keep Arsenal at bay? West Ham will need to give it all. Nuno, the strategist, might pull something special out of his sleeve.
Mikel Arteta Will Be Wary of The Hammer Threat
Mikel Arteta, therefore, will be wary of playing at the London Stadium, where West Ham can surprise anyone on their day. A loss will put Manchester City in the driver’s seat. But the question is, can West Ham really do a favour to themselves and also to City?
Manchester City Will Watch With Bated Breath
The Mancunians in Manchester would be watching with bated breath.
