West Ham host Arsenal on Sunday in a London derby that reverses the team's usual standings. Typically, it's Arsenal on the fringes of the race for the Champions League spots with West Ham toiling in mid-table, while this time the opposite is the case. If West Ham are to mount a serious challenge to qualify for Europe's top tournament next season these are precisely the kinds of matches, at home against a mid-table opponent, that they'll have to win.

What to Know
Arsenal head to London stadium fresh off a momentous Premier League win over arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Not only did the Gunners win the match 2-1, outshooting Spurs 13-6 and comfortably outlasting Jose Mourinho's club despite Erik Lamela's remarkable rabona.
West Ham are coming off a much more disappointing performance, losing 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. They didn't manage a short for the entire first half, before conceding an own goal. Ultimately they couldn't mount much of a comeback and ended the match outshot 15-7. Despite the loss, the Hammers remain within three points of fourth place with a game in hand.
Arsenal's victory lifted them to 12-11-5 (10th place with 41 points) while West Ham United's defeat dropped them down to 14-8-6 (fifth place with 48 points). We'll see if Arsenal can repeat their recent success or if West Ham bounces back and reverse their fortune.
