Although not in good form, our tipster is backing Manuel Pellegrini’s hosts to get something out of their London derby with the struggling Gunners

Arsenal are looking for their first win since October when they travel to London rivals West Ham on Monday night.

A 3-2 triumph over Vitoria in the Europa League was the last time the Gunners tasted victory in any competition, with Unai Emery being fired as a result and Freddie Ljungberg taking temporary charge.

West Ham, meanwhile, arrested a similarly bad run of their own recently by winning 1-0 at Chelsea, but the Hammers have still only taken five points from the last available 27 in the Premier League.

West Ham vs Arsenal Latest Odds

Despite not winning any of their last seven Premier League matches, bet365 make Arsenal Even Money (2.0) favourites to get back on track with a win at the London Stadium.

West Ham won this exact fixture 1-0 last season but are out 9/4 (3.25) to condemn the Gunners to their 10th away league defeat in their last 18 such fixtures.

The sides drew 0-0 on this ground almost exactly two years ago to the day and bet365 price another draw at 3/1 (4.0).

West Ham vs Arsenal Team News

Ljungberg has an almost full squad, with only Dani Ceballos and Rob Holding injured. Nicolas Pepe could start a league game for the first time since October after impressing off the bench in Arsenal’s 2-1 loss to Brighton.

Jack Wilshere could be involved against his former team but is unlikely to start, whilst Robert Snodgrass and Michail Antonio will hope to feature.

West Ham vs Arsenal Preview

If Arsenal thought that sacking Emery after 18 months in charge of the club would cause at least a temporary uptick in form, they have been sorely mistaken.

Ljungberg’s tenure opened with a 2-2 draw at Norwich before a chastening 2-1 loss at home to Brighton, which made it seven Premier League games in a row without victory.

In fact, their away struggles go back to the final seasons of Arsene Wenger, with the Gunners losing 29 of their last 57 away league games dating back to December 13, 2016.

West Ham vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions

Although West Ham are hardly in good form themselves with three defeats in their last four home league games, they generally perform well in London derbies with six wins and two draws in them last season, making the home/draw double chance certainly worth considering at 4/5 (1.80).
