Arsenal take on the visitors West Ham in the round 17 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, December 26th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal did not waste time. While the best teams in the world were being cut at the 2022 World Cup, and some of the Gunners' stars were getting injured there, Mikel Arteta's team itself was playing friendly matches against strong opponents. Lyon, Milan, Juventus - the Gunners have clearly decided to rehearse a return to the Champions League. Arsenal have an amazing record at home this season. Before losing the League Cup to Brighton, Mikel Arteta's men had won 9 out of 9 Emirates games in all competitions. In five cases, they were victories by several goals.

Playing on multiple fronts has hurt West Ham's results in the Premier League. This season, David Moyes' team is trying their hand at the Conference League. So far, the Hammers are doing well there, unlike the championship. In the Premier League, West Ham could slide into the relegation zone at any time. West Ham United have earned only one point in their last five away matches in the Premier League, while suffering four defeats. True, they were all with a difference of one goal.
The Hammers have not won this derby for almost four years, since January 2019. After that, the rivals played six more matches, five of which were won by Arsenal players. The last fight at the Emirates ended in a 2-0 victory for Arsenal. The bookmakers estimate the probability of Arsenal's victory in the upcoming match at just 1.53. Quotes for other outcomes are much higher. You can bet on a draw in the Emirates derby for 4.56 with 6.55 on the success of the Hammers. Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table this season for a reason. Mikel Arteta's team will certainly experience a lot of difficulties in the upcoming matches, but at the same time they will try to get out of them with honor and dignity. At West Ham, in Boxing day, the Gunners are obliged to win.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -1.0 handicap.
