Arsenal faces West Ham next Monday, and this is one of the most interesting matchups in the English Premier League Round 17.

Before Betting on Arsenal vs. West Ham

The Gunners now have one big problem, and that’s Gabriel Jesus’ injury. The Brazilian suffered a devastating blow at the World Cup and is out for a long time. He had five assists and the goals each so far in the EPL, yet his contribution goes beyond those numbers.

Arsenal lost in the recent club friendly against Juventus, with half of the first-team players participating in that event. The Gunners were perfect at home so far, having six wins in six appearances and a goal difference of 19-7.

West Ham is near the relegation zone. That’s something just a few expected to see from the Hammers this year, though, it isn’t odd. Each EPL team that plays in both domestic and international competitions needs to have a longer rotation than ordinary units. And West Ham doesn’t at the moment. 

Until now, the Hammers have won just one event on the road, adding one draw and five defeats. Their goal difference away from the London Stadium is 3-7, which suggests that this unit plays ultra-defensive in those situations.

The Gunners are in a tough position, and that’s nothing new here. However, we don’t see any other logical pick here than their victory. West Ham is terrible away from home, and Mikel Arteta’s crew should have enough power to deal with them.
