West Ham United vs Arsenal | Premier League | Gameweek 13

With both teams riding high after recent victories, West Ham and Arsenal will face off in a lip - smacking London derby on Saturday.

When Arsenal plays West Ham in east London on Saturday night, they hope to cut into Liverpool's nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings.

The Gunners are currently nine points behind leaders Liverpool and have had a frustrating season after coming so close to defeating Manchester City for the top prize the previous time out.

The Gunners enter the match ready out of two resounding wins following the international break in November. After easily defeating Nottingham Forest, Mikel Arteta's team dominated Sporting CP 5-1 in Lisbon on Tuesday night, putting on their best showing of a challenging season so far.

The Gunners are now only one point behind an injured Manchester City, who will visit Anfield on Sunday, and the time is almost here for them to secure their first league victory away from home since mid-September, but the nine-point deficit to Liverpool is still unbridgeable for the time being.

West Ham gave Arteta's team some trouble last season, but the Gunners' 6-0 thumping of the Irons in February more than made up for their two 2023 losses. The Hammers come into Saturday's match fresh off a 2-0 victory against Newcastle United on Monday, which lifted their spirits, but their play has been patchy at best under Julen Lopetegui. After 12 games, their position in the table is 14th.

West Ham United vs Arsenal Team News

West Ham United Team News

One of the most notable pieces of West Ham club news may have come from the dugout: head coach Lopetegui received his third warning of the season at St. James' Park and was given a touchline ban for the side's visit to Arsenal.

Edson Alvarez returns from a two-game suspension after being unclear if he would be able to play against Newcastle, but Lopetegui joins Mohammed Kudus, who is serving the final game of his five-match sentence, on the naughty step.

In terms of injuries, former Arsenal player Dinos Mavropanos may start against his old team because Niclas Fullkrug's calf issue is not anticipated to improve in time for the weekend and Jean-Clair Todibo was knocked during the victory against Newcastle.

Arsenal Team News

The goal scorer Gabriel's departure toward the conclusion of Arsenal's victory against Sporting was a tiny blot on their Portugal diary; it is still unknown what exactly was wrong with him, but it would not be shocking if he was saved for the match against Manchester United in the middle of the week.

In light of Gabriel's potential absence, Arteta has two options: either he moves Riccardo Calafiori into a center-back position and brings Oleksandr Zinchenko out wide, or he makes a clean swap with Jakub Kiwior, as he did on Tuesday.

Trossard and Mikel Merino could provide some new legs to the starting lineup, so the Arsenal manager shouldn't be afraid to make a few unannounced changes as well, like he did in a surprising selection against Forest.

Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are the only Gunners players sidelined due to knee injuries, as Kieran Tierney eventually recovered from a hamstring issue to start on the bench in the Champions League.

GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Arsenal (Gabriel, 10')

How do you stop Gabriel?

The Arsenal players congregate at the back post before charging to the near post to create chaos.

The plan works as Paqueta cannot get his head to the ball at the front stick and Gabriel is waiting to glance his header into the far corner.
