  • West Ham come into the game on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Brentford

  • Arsenal secured their spot in the Champions League final after a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid

  • Recommended bet: Arsenal to win and both teams to score

Arsenal will look to move one step closer to the Premier League title when they travel to West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners were handed a huge lifeline on Monday night, when Manchester City were held to a 3-3 draw by Everton. That means Arsenal now have a five-point cushion at the top of the table, although they have played one game more than City.

If Arsenal win their remaining matches they will be crowned champions, but they will need to be at their best to overcome a West Ham side that are fighting for survival.

The Hammers dropped into the bottom three last weekend and they are now one point behind 17th-placed Tottenham.

Team news

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has no new injury concerns, but he may be tempted to make some alterations to his starting XI after last week's disappointing result against Brentford.

Striker Callum Wilson is hoping for a recall to the first team, with the Hammers needing to find some form in the final three matches.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is still waiting for Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino to prove their fitness, but Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz have both recovered from injuries in the last few days.

The stats

West Ham's defeat to Brentford was their first in four games, but the Hammers have won successive matches at home.

Nuno's men have been impressive at the London Stadium in recent months, with the hosts losing only one of their last nine games in front of their own fans.

The hosts have only kept two clean sheets in their last 10 matches.

Arsenal are unbeaten in four games, with Arteta's side winning three of those matches.

The Gunners have only won one of their last five away matches in all competitions.

Arsenal won the most recent meeting between these sides 2- 0 in October and they have triumphed in three of the past four head-to-heads.

Prediction

Arsenal are within touching distance of winning this year's Premier League and their fans are dreaming of the double after another energy-sapping campaign.

Monday's result at Hill Dickinson Stadium has put them in the driving seat and they should be able to take advantage. However, the Gunners will do well to keep a clean sheet against a Hammers side that have netted in 10 of their last 11 matches at the London Stadium.

That being said, the manner of West Ham's defeat to Brentford suggests they have still got some consistency issues and Arsenal should be able to grind out another result.
