West Ham United have shown they can be competitive at home, with a 4-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and a 2-1 win over Everton in their last two home league games. Arsenal arrive with three wins from their last five league matches, including back-to-back home victories over Fulham and Newcastle United, so they look the steadier side overall. The head-to-head record also leans Arsenal’s way, although West Ham United did beat them 1-0 in February 2025, which is a reminder that this fixture can swing either way.
With no xG data available, the best guide is recent results and team shape, and that points to Arsenal having the more reliable balance between defence and attack. West Ham United’s 4-4-1-1 should give them a compact base, but Arsenal’s 4-2-3-1 has enough control and width to test that structure. Match Prediction: West Ham United 1-2 Arsenal
Form Guide & Team Overview
West Ham United
West Ham United’s recent league form has been mixed, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five. The standout result is the 4-0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, while the 2-1 home win over Everton also shows they can get results at the London Stadium.
Away from home, though, the picture is less convincing, with a 3-0 loss at Brentford and a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa. The 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace sits in between those extremes, suggesting West Ham United have been more solid than spectacular but still a little inconsistent.

Arsenal
Arsenal’s recent league form reads as three wins and two defeats from their last five. They have won their last two league matches, beating Fulham 3-0 and Newcastle United 1-0, which gives them a stronger feel heading into this one.
The two losses in that run came away at Manchester City and at home to AFC Bournemouth, both by a single goal. Even so, the overall pattern is still positive, and the recent clean-sheet wins suggest they have been managing games well.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
West Ham United (4-4-1-1)
Predicted lineup: Mads Hermansen (Goalkeeper), Axel Disasi (Defender), El Hadji Malick Diouf (Defender), Konstantinos Mavropanos (Defender), Kyle Walker-Peters (Defender), Crysencio Summerville (Midfielder), Jarrod Bowen (Midfielder), Mateus Fernandes (Midfielder), Tomáš Souček (Midfielder), Pablo (Attacker), Taty Castellanos (Attacker)
West Ham United’s predicted 4-4-1-1 should keep Pablo close to Taty Castellanos, giving them a direct outlet when they break forward. The wide work from Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen will be important if they are to stretch Arsenal and stop the visitors settling into a rhythm.
Arsenal (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: David Raya (Goalkeeper), Ben White (Defender), Gabriel Magalhães (Defender), Riccardo Calafiori (Defender), William Saliba (Defender), Bukayo Saka (Midfielder), Declan Rice (Midfielder), TBC (Midfielder), Leandro Trossard (Midfielder), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Midfielder), Viktor Gyökeres (Attacker)
Arsenal’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a strong platform through the double pivot, with Declan Rice helping to control the middle of the pitch. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard should provide the width and support for Viktor Gyökeres, which can pin West Ham United back if Arsenal move the ball quickly.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| West Ham United | Arsenal | Text |
|---|---|---|
| West Ham United | Arsenal | Pablo will need to occupy Ben White and make West Ham United’s central attacks count. |
| West Ham United | Arsenal | Crysencio Summerville against Bukayo Saka could decide which side controls the wide areas. |
| West Ham United | Arsenal | Pablo is key for West Ham United because he is the main attacking reference in the predicted shape. |
| West Ham United | Arsenal | Viktor Gyökeres is key for Arsenal because he is the focal point at the top of their 4-2-3-1. |
