Sports Innovation previews the Premier League match between Arsenal and West Ham and offers team news, predictions, and in-depth stats.

West Ham will visit the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday for the Premier League clash with Arsenal. West Ham sit at 4th place in the league table on 28 points after 16 games. Arsenal, meanwhile, are trailing behind their upcoming opponents by two points and occupy the 6th position.

The Hammers have surprised everyone so far this season, and a win against the Gunners will of course only strengthen their position.

Arsenal keep target in sight

Results have been on par for Arsenal in their past games, as they have performed more or less according to expectations. Arsenal suffered a couple of disappointments in their last 3 matches, as they were run over by Manchester United in a 3-2 defeat. Everton also proved too hard to handle, as they lost 2-1. Arsenal were finally able to strike back last time out against Southampton, securing a 3-0 win.

While they are not exactly setting the league on fire right now, Arsenal still keep tabs on the top 3.

On the back of an impressive record of 5 wins in the last 6 matches, the Gunners look a great bet for a win here.

West Ham paddling along

West Ham, meanwhile, have been exceeding expectations, although their recent results don’t look all that flattering – only one win in their last five games across all competitions. However, they have been able to down some giants this season – Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham – and will be once again looking to do the same on Wednesday night.
