Premier League 25/26: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Preview, Prediction & Lineups

Xscore808

4 Oct, 2025

This London derby sees high-flying Arsenal (2nd in the table with a superior goal difference) host struggling rivals West Ham United (down in 19th position). The Hammers, despite their dire start to the 2025/26 season, enter the Emirates looking to defy the odds, having surprisingly won the last two Premier League fixtures hosted by the Gunners.

Premier League 25/26: Arsenal vs West Ham Match Preview, Prediction & Lineups

Kick-Off Time & Details

Competition - Round: Premier League - Matchweek 7

Kick-off (GMT): 14:00 GMT, Saturday 4 October 2025

Stadium, Location: Emirates Stadium, London, England

Referee: John Brooks

Match Facts and Key Numbers

Head-to-Head (Last 6): The recent history is surprisingly tight, with West Ham winning three of the last six competitive meetings against Arsenal (W3, D1, L2).

The Emirates Anomaly: West Ham has won their last two Premier League visits to the Emirates (0-1 in Feb 2025 and 0-2 in Dec 2023), proving they are capable of an upset away from home.

Arsenal's Form: Arsenal boasts a strong league start, sitting 2nd with 13 points, fueled by a stellar +9 goal difference (12 goals scored, 3 conceded).

West Ham's Defensive Woes: The Hammers are languishing in the relegation zone (19th) and possess one of the league's leakiest defenses, conceding 14 goals in just 6 games.

Key Player Watch: Bukayo Saka is a constant threat in this fixture, having been involved in eight goals across his last seven Premier League games against West Ham.

Match Prediction

Despite West Ham's unusual success at the Emirates in recent seasons, the current gulf in form is too vast to ignore. Arsenal's attack, which has been consistently potent and efficient, will likely prove too much for West Ham's porous defence. The home side's confidence, combined with the Hammers' struggles under their new manager (Nuno Espírito Santo), points towards a comfortable, if hard-fought, Arsenal victory to keep pressure on the league leaders.

Prediction: Arsenal 3 - 1 West Ham United
