Arsenal take on West Ham at the Emirates live on the Premier League TV schedule during this midweek round of games.

The Gunners have wobbled with three defeats in their last five outings, but a victory over Southampton at the weekend has remarkably perched them on the edge of the top four.

Victory for Mikel Arteta’s men here would boost them up beyond their opponents West Ham and would place them in fourth if Manchester United lose or if their game against Brentford is postponed.

West Ham will also see the importance of this clash, however. They currently occupy a spot in the top four despite a muted run of form.

The Hammers will be determined to find their rhythm over the Christmas period to avoid starting 2022 on the back foot in the chase for European football next term.

Our prediction: Arsenal v West Ham

Arsenal are hard to predict right now, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s fresh disciplinary issues should lead to a galvanising effect among the younger stars of the future.

Aubameyang simply hasn’t aided Arsenal’s cause in the way he should have this season. The spark has come from Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard to name a few of the less experienced names.

Those young players should see this as a big opportunity to stamp their own authority on Arsenal. Saying that, West Ham boast plenty of their own talent and know that this is a must-not-lose encounter.

Our prediction: Arsenal 1-1 West Ham (13/2 at bet365)
