Arsenal vs West Ham United Match Overview – 4.10.2025

One of the major contenders for the Premier League title Arsenal looks for the three points when hosting West Ham United at the Emirates. The Gunners must be careful, though – the Hammers are arriving with a brand new manager at the helm. Let’s preview this fixture in our High-odds football predictions this weekend.

Arsenal approach this game after a dramatic, but very important win against Newcastle last weekend. Gabriel secured the team’s win with a late header in the injury time. Thanks to this win, Arsenal are now just two points behind the leader Liverpool.

Meanwhile West Ham are facing Mikel Arteta’s team with a new manager, but a well-known one in the Premier League – Nuno Espirito Santo. A former coach of Nottingham Forest, Tottenham and Wolves, Nuno Santo replaced the sacked Graham Potter. His goal is to stabilise the Hammers’ performance.

Arsenal News & Analysis

Arsenal won 7 points in their last three games in the league. The Gunners are currently second in the standings, but very close to Liverpool. So far Arteta’s boys are proving their reputation of title contenders. And now they are chasing another win.

Mikel Arteta can’t use the injured Noni Madueke, but the Spanish manager has enough talent upfront. Eberechi Eze started in midfield against Newcastle while Saka, Gyokeres and Trossard led the attack. Arteta could make a change here eventually as Gabriel Martinelli could replace Trossard in the line-up.

Decision have to be taken regarding Martin Odegaard as well. The club captain was benched against Newcastle as Arteta decided to use Eze in midfield. But now the Norwegian maestro could return in the starting eleven. He assisted Gabriel’s winning goal against the Magpies.

West Ham News & Analysis

West Ham surely needed some kind of a change. The Hammers are in the relegation zone of the league as they won just four points in six games played. Graham Potter left the club, but now the fans are feeling optimistic once again – Nuno Santo did some wonders during his time at Nottingham Forest.

For the Portuguese manager it won’t be an easy debut – that’s for sure. Against Arsenal West Ham will have to play from the back, and eventually use the opportunities they are going to get from counter-attacks. Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta are the key players here – they have to cause the trouble for Arsenal’s defence.
