Arsenal can move one step closer to a return to the Champions League when it takes on West Ham on Sunday at London Stadium. Between 1998 and 2017, the Gunners participated in 19 consecutive Champions League campaigns, but they haven't been back since. Arsenal needs to finish in the top four in the Premier League to earn a Champions League berth, and the Gunners enter Sunday's match in fourth place in the EPL table, two points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, which faces Leicester City on Sunday. Meanwhile, West Ham sits in seventh in the EPL standings.

Why you should back Arsenal 

The Gunners enter Sunday's match with the edge in rest. Arsenal has not played since beating Manchester United, 3-1, on April 23. Meanwhile, West Ham played on Thursday, losing 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League semifinal.

In addition, the Gunners face a West Ham side that may not have its full attention on Sunday's match. Sitting in seventh place in the Premier League standings and eight points out of fourth, the Hammers do not have much to play for in the Premier League. But they are in the middle of their Europa League campaign and could be distracted by their upcoming second leg of their semifinal against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

Why you should back West Ham

The Hammers face an Arsenal team that has struggled defensively recently. The Gunners have conceded nine goals in their last five matches. Part of the struggles can be attributed to the absence of left back Kieran Tierney, who is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Nuno Tavares has been a liability when filling in for Tierney.

In addition, Jarrod Bowen is a dangerous playmaker. The 25-year-old forward is tied for sixth in the League in assists (eight) and ranks 19th in goals (nine). In the Europa League semifinal loss against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, Bowen hit the crossbar on a spectacular bicycle kick on what would have been the equalizer in stoppage time.
