Arsenal vs West Ham Prediction Today
Arsenal
For the Gunners, this is the third classic followed, although the weight of the rivalry with West Ham is smaller than in the previous matches. In their debut season of the English Premier League, Arsenal, at home, were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City. Then, as a visitor, he picked up 3 to 2 from Londoner Chelsea.
The bad results serve to put a little more pressure and direct the spotlight to the work of Spanish coach Unai Emery, which replaces the myth Arsene Wenger, who remained more than two decades in office and was dismissed at the end of last season.
Like his predecessor, Emery has not been able to make the two players who most needed resources from the club to be hired to be able to act together. He has determined that the attack will have only one centralized athlete. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang won the position with Alexandre Lacazette getting on the bench.
This does not mean a merely defensive option. Despite having filled the midfield, the choice was also for athletes who can act at speed on the sides of the pitch avoiding the centralization of the plays.
The need for victories and, of course, even goals can make Emery change his mind and put his two best finals on the field. However, it is not only in the attack that the coach faces problems.
In the defensive system, which was leaked with extreme ease in the opening rounds of the English Championship, he needs to act to fix the problems dealing with medical limitations. Carl Jenkinson, Sead Kolasinac and Laurent Koscielny are in injury treatment. Also in the infirmary is the midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
West Ham
West Ham is also in the process of transition. However, much deeper than that of Arsenal. Not only did he change coaching, but the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini was in charge as he made drastic changes to the squad with a series of layoffs and a dozen signings.
This ended up making the start of the Premier League difficult enough for the club, who in the past two seasons spent most of the season battling relegation. In their opening match West Ham were beaten 4-0 at Liverpool by their rivals.
Despite the long score, defeat was expected. The biggest problem came in the second match, when the London club made its home debut against Bournemouth. He left in the lead with Arnautovic’s goal in the 33 minutes of the initial stage. However, it took the turn with Wilson’s attempts (15 minutes) and Cook (21 minutes) in the second half.
