Have Liverpool Already Sealed the Premier League?

4y ago

Languishing in mid-table obscurity, the home side will be desperate for a win this weekend to climb further up the standings. Although continental football seems a foregone conclusion, the Gunners will still be harboring hopes of finishing the season as high as possible.

Meanwhile, West Ham United are currently enjoying a mini-resurgence and have distanced themselves from relegation talks. These bunch of players clearly have no intentions of turning out in the Championship come the end of the season.

Newly-appointed manager David Moyes has injected some much-needed confidence into this side, steering the East London outfit away from the relegation places. It is worth noting however, that only goal difference separates this side from 18^th-placed Bournemouth.

A tricky game awaits us at the Emirates Stadium with two hungry sides battling out for bragging rights as well as maximum points. Expect goals down both ends of the pitch.

Arsenal vs West Ham United Team News

Mikel Arteta was welcomed with open arms back to the club where he spent five years between 2011 and 2016, but it has been a topsy-turvy start to life for the former Gunners captain in the Emirates dugout.

Indeed, the North London outfit are unbeaten in the Premier League since the New Year and have won four out of their last five matches in all competitions.
Monday's 2-0 victory over Portsmouth in the FA Cup fifth round keeps Arteta's hopes of a trophy in his maiden season alive, a win which was much needed following the manner of their defeat to Olympiacos in the Europa League round of 32.

Nevertheless, Arsenal's league form has much improved since Arteta replaced fellow Spaniard Unai Emery and the Gunners now sit eight points off the top four on 37 points.

A third consecutive league victory could see Arsenal rise to eighth in the table, potentially leapfrogging arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the process should Burnley pick up all three points against Jose Mourinho 's side on Saturday.

In contrast, West Ham's 3-1 victory over Southampton was their first league win since New Year's Day, and David Moyes's side are at a real risk of a first relegation since 2011 should results not improve.

As protests against the ownership of the club continue to bedevil the Londoners, Hammers supporters will be desperate to see their side pick up only their fourth win away from home all season.

Moyes' men performed valiantly for the most part at Anfield last Monday, but eventually made the trip back down to London empty-handed following a result which has more or less epitomized their season.

However, last weekend's triumph against Southampton has brought some much-needed relief to the London Stadium, as goals from Jarrod Bowen, Sebastien Haller and Michail Antonio comfortably saw off Ralph Hasenhuttl 's side.

The Hammers have conceded nine goals in their last three league games away from home, albeit to top-four sides Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester City, and have also suffered defeats at Sheffield United and Crystal Palace since the New Year.

Nevertheless, should Moyes manage to shore up his defence in a similar way to that of Arteta at Arsenal, Hammers supporters may just be able to look forward to another Premier League campaign next season.
