Storylines
Arsenal: The Gunners are seven matches unbeaten in the league but have drawn almost half of their games. That has put them still in decent shape to qualify for Europe, but there is still a sizable gap from where they want to be. This team's lack of consistent scoring has cost them plenty of points, but against a rough West Ham defense, this could be the result that really sees this team turn the corner. Expect them to get enough looks on goal to run away with it.
West Ham: There is some confidence here now, especially after showing they can hold onto a lead. The Hammers have enough in attack with Felipe Anderson and Pablo Fornals creating to go into Emirates Stadium and get a point or more, but the defense that at times falls asleep must be on the same page. A point would be a fantastic result considering how late in the season we are and how deep the relegation battle is.
Prediction
West Ham keeps it close, but ultimately Alexandre Lacazette secures three huge points for the Gunners. Pick: Arsenal 2, West Ham 1.
