Arsenal v West Ham Betting Preview – Premier League 5th April 7.45pm

The Gunners are not looking convincing in their race to try and land a top-four finish this season. After a draw with Man City on Sunday, they are now seven points away from a Champions League place next season. However, they may find a bit of form against a West Ham side who are in a big slump in form themselves.

Arsenal v West Ham Betting Tips

Arsenal’s chances of a top four finish are slim as they have managed just the four points in their last six games played in the top flight. At home, their figures are still good after their 2-2 draw with Man City there on the weekend. Arsenal have a W9 D3 L2 home record this season, losing just one of their last thirteen there. But they need to be winning games at the moment and their defensive frailties aren’t allowing them to do much of that. The Gunners have shipped at least two goals in four of their last five league games and on top of that have just the one clean sheet in their last seven played. Both teams to score with Coral is a price of 4/6. Arsenal have won just one of their last eight Premier League matches played in midweek (Tues-Thurs); drawing four and losing three and Alexis Sanchez, who has scored four goals and provided one assist in his last two games against West Ham, is 8/11 anytime goalscorer favourite.

The Irons have slipped to a four-match losing streak in the top flight, and much like Arsenal, they can’t get their act together at the back at all. The Irons have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six games. Over 2.5 goals at Coral is a price of 1/2. In total in the last four meetings between these at the Emirates, there has been a total of fifteen goals and West Ham have scored in each of their last seven league games, but just can’t win. Arsenal to win by a one-goal margin is a price of 3/1 at Coral and has some appeal. West Ham have won just four away games this season (D3 L8) and are winless in their last three (D1 L2). They did take a win at the Emirates last season in the league, but that has been their only win in their last seventeen league contests against the Gunners (D3 L13). West Ham United have won six of their seven-midweek Premier League games (Tues-Thurs) since the start of 2016 (W6 D0 L1) and Andy Carroll is an 11/5 anytime goalscorer option.

Arsenal v West Ham Predictions

Arsenal Home Win: Back the Gunners to come through this London derby by a one goal winning margin. Most of their troubles have been away lately and with West Ham in a terrible run of four defeats, the visitors should eventually crumble in this one but will put up a fight.
