Arsenal at West Ham 1/12/19 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

There is yet another London Derby set to take place this season, when West Ham will play host to Arsenal on Saturday. Both teams found success in their FA Cup duties over the weekend and will both come here looking for a win. West Ham have been slightly worse than the Gunners lately but they are always strong at home.

West Ham (8-9-4) are coming into this match after a rather anxious qualification to the next round of the FA Cup. They played host to Championship side Birmingham and even took an early lead in that match, but they only secured the qualification at the stoppage time for the final 0-2. That was their second win in their last five matches in all competitions (2-2-1), and also their first clean sheet in that span. West Ham have a 6-6-2 home record in all competitions and have lost just one of their last five (3-1-1). However, they have kept just three clean sheets there all season. Arsenal (12-4-5) also had a pretty comfortable job in the FA Cup when they overcame League One side Blackpool by 3-0 on the road. They scored two quick goals in the first half and had no problems recording their second consecutive win. They really needed that, as they had won just once in their previous five matches in all competitions (1-3-1). Arsenal have a 4-3-3 away record in the Premier League and have also won four more matches for other competitions. They are now sitting 5th in the league with 41 points, three behind Chelsea.
