Preview
Manager Mikel Arteta can be said to have succeeded in returning the confidence of Arsenal supporters to their own club in his nine months dealing with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cs.
The North London club’s new momentum emerged in the final stages of last season’s campaign towards a new period, which began with the victory in the FA Cup final over Chelsea followed by their success in putting them down Liverpool in Community Sheild. This positive trend carried over to their first match when they beat Fulham 3-0.
Six of the last seven matches played by Arteta’s squad, including the Community Shield score, have ended in victory. They are now really in a positive situation facing the 2020/21 edition.
West Ham must be vigilant because their track record when clashed with Arsenal made their heads shake. The Hammers suffered more defeats against Arsenal [31 kali] compared to any opponent.
David Moyes will be hoping to make a surprise in North London this weekend after goals from Callum Wilson and Jeff Hendrick put his side to shame against Newcastle.
However, West Ham managed to pay off last week’s poor performance with a 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic in the second round of the Premier League Cup in midweek.
Arsenal senior defender David Luiz has been declared fit for this clash after suffering a cramp in his neck, while Mesut Ozil is being considered for involvement after missing the previous week.
Defenders Shkodran Mustafi, Sokratis and Pablo Mari are still among the list of players absent.
At West Ham, captain Mark Noble missed training last Friday with a toe injury and his condition is still being monitored. Former Arsenal personnel Jack Wilshere is a doubt for this match because of a problem with his ankle.
Club record-breaking signing Sebastian Haller scored two goals in last League Cup and looks set to be relied on again in this match.
