Arsenal will have a predictedly difficult away game at West Ham United's stadium, in the context that both the championship race and the relegation battle in the Premier League are entering a decisive stage.
Mikel Arteta's team currently has a 2-point gap with Manchester City and is facing the opportunity to take another long step towards the Premier League title. In the opposite direction, West Ham needs points to avoid the risk of being dragged deeper into the relegation battle after Tottenham Hotspur just took the lead thanks to a victory over Aston Villa.
The performance of the Emirates team is at a very high level. Arsenal has equaled the club record with 41 wins in all competitions in a season, a record previously set in the 1970-1971 season.
The 3-0 victory over Fulham last weekend continued to show Arsenal's formidable attacking power. The "Gunners" created up to 2.5 expected goals (xG) in just the first half - their highest score in the first 45 minutes of this season's Premier League.
Meanwhile, West Ham still has a basis for hope thanks to their fairly stable home form. Nuno Espirito Santo's team is unbeaten in 6 consecutive matches in London in the Premier League, with three wins and 3 draws.
Jarrod Bowen continues to be the biggest hope of the home team. The English striker has had seven assists in the last 6 home matches and is the main inspiration in West Ham's attacking style.
However, the challenge for The Hammers is extremely big when they have to face the most solid defense in England at the moment. Arsenal has kept a clean sheet in 30 matches in all competitions this season - the club's best record since the 1993-1994 season.
