Arsenal have made a good start to the new season, winning seven of their opening nine matches across all competitions. The Gunners have only been beaten once so far, and that was by the title favourites and defending champions Liverpool. Mikel Arteta's men are unbeaten in their last six fixtures and have claimed a win-to-nil on six separate occasions already this season.
West Ham have lost five of their first seven games in league and cup, and even under new management, the Hammers were only able to carve out a draw against Everton on Monday night. West Ham have conceded at least three goals in four matches already this season, and have failed to score in two of their six league games.
The Gunners have won eight of their last 12 league meetings with West Ham, and six of the last eight encounters between the pair, in all competitions, have produced over 2.5 goals. Six of the Hammers' opening seven fixtures have also witnessed at least three goals, as have three of Arsenal's opening six league games.
We're backing Arsenal to claim a routine 3-0 victory against their struggling guests this weekend.
