Arsenal, who have won their last four Premier League home games and kept a clean sheet in each of the last three, will host West Ham United on Wednesday at Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, between January 29th, 2019 and July 8th, 2020, West Ham lost nine of their 11 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games (W2). Since then, the Hammers are unbeaten in eight such games in the competition (W4 D4).
Arsenal have won 10 of their last 11 home league games against West Ham and another win has been valued at (2.10) with BlackBet.
After winning three Premier League games in a row against Arsenal between February 2006 and April 2007, West Ham have won just two of their last 26 against the Gunners but a third victory in 27 matches is tipped to happen at (3.40).
A draw between the London rivals has been considered to occur at (3.50).
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has been dropped as Arsenal's captain, will not be part of the matchday squad due to an internal club disciplinary action.
Bernd Leno is expected to be sidelined further by a groin injury, while Sead Kolasinac is unavailable as he is still recovering from an ankle injury.
For West Ham United, Aaron Cresswell remains a doubt following a back injury. The defender missed matches against Brighton, Burnley and Chelsea, but could appear in the matchday squad should a late assessment show he is fit for the London derby.
However, Kurt Zouma and Ben Johnson are ruled out by thigh injuries, while Angelo Ogbonna and Ryan Fredericks are out with knee and groin problems respectively.
Arsenal have lost just one of their 22 Premier League games at the Emirates played on a Wednesday (W14 D7), going down 2-1 against Swansea in March 2016. Before this, they had also won 12 of their last 14 Wednesday league games at Highbury (D1 L1), though that one defeat was against West Ham in February 2006.
West Ham manager David Moyes has never won away against Arsenal in the Premier League in 17 attempts (D4 L13). It's the most a manager has played away at a single club without ever winning in the competition.
West Ham's Michail Antonio has been directly involved in 11 goals in his last 11 Premier League London derbies (five goals and six assists). Only Carlton Cole (14) has scored more Premier League London derby goals for the Hammers than Antonio (11).
Arsenal have lost two of their four league London derbies this season (W1 D1), already more than they lost in the whole of 2020-21 (W6 D3 L1). Meanwhile, West Ham are looking to win three consecutive leagues London derbies for the first time since January 2019, the third game of which came against Arsenal.
Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette has scored five Premier League goals against West Ham, netting in each of his last three appearances against the Hammers. Against no side has he scored more in the competition (also five vs Southampton).
This will be West Ham boss Moyes' 600th Premier League game as a manager (currently W236 D161 L202), only the fourth manager to reach the milestone in the competition after Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson and Harry Redknapp.
Arsenal have scored eight goals in the last five games where they have conceded nine and kept two clean sheets. West Ham United have scored five, conceded six and kept just a clean sheet.
Punters can take an offer of under 2.5 goals at (1.97) with BlackBet.

What relevance do all these statistics have? Do the quoted results from 2006, 2026 and 2019 have any significance to current form? The fact is, it’s likely to be a tight game. West Ham have found it difficult to score lately, but the defence has been solid. They have not lost by more than one goal all season, and have lost away only twice, at Wolves and Man City. I think 1-1 is likely.
2016…not 2026. If I knew results from 2026 I could become a rich man!
