Arsenal welcomes London rivals West Ham United in a much-anticipated clash at the Emirates today Boxing Day.
With Arsenal sitting at the top of the standings, Mikel Arteta’s side can increase their lead over Manchester City to eight points – albeit temporarily – with a win.
The Gunners’ last outing prior to the World Cup break saw Martin Odegaard fire home a brace which saw them secure all three points in Wolverhampton Wanderers.
On the other hand, David Moyes’s side have been far from their best lately following losses to Crystal Palace and Leicester as well as an EFL Cup exit against Blackburn Rovers.
A further loss here could see them plunge into the relegation zone, making this a must-win fixture for West Ham.
Unfortunately, though, away form has not been too kind to Moyes’ men with only one point gained from their previous five away trips.
Will Arsenal reign supreme or will the Hammers put up a fight?
