Arsenal 6/5 to beat West Ham in Wednesday’s Premier League contest

Competition: Premier League

Market: Arsenal win

Odds: 6/5 @ 888sport

In what is a real London derby in midweek, Arsenal will host fellow top-four hopefuls West Ham on Wednesday night in what could be a lively affair.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make a thumping return to winning ways over the weekend, Arsenal will be desperate to build off of that result here. In their 16 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, two draws and six defeats, scoring 21 and conceding 22 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 26, the Reds open the midweek fixtures sat sixth in the table and just two points adrift of finding a route into the Champions League places. As for their recent run of results, bringing an end to their recent blip with a thumping 3-0 win against Southampton, Arsenal have continued to shine on home soil. It should be noted, Wednesday’s hosts are unbeaten in each of their last 10 straight contests on home soil, recording nine wins on that purple patch.

As for the visitors, putting in what was another flat display over the weekend, West Ham have largely struggled with their consistency of late. In their 16 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, four draws and four defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 19 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 28, they open the midweek fixtures sat fourth in the table and holding just a one-point buffer from dropping out of the Champions League spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate away at relegation scrappers Burnley, West Ham have now managed to win just one of their previous five Premier League matchups. Likewise, winning just one of their previous five contests on the road, we’re backing a home victory here.
