Arsenal vs West ham is an important match for Arteta as he wants his team at the top of the league till January. The EPL title race is hotting up and Arsenal will do everything to beat west ham today. Currently, West ham are in a great form. I won’t be surprised if they get a point today at the Emirates. David Moyes is aiming to bolster their top-six charge this season. We saw how West ham stunned Arsenal in the Carabao Cup last month when they won 3-1 with only 28 per cent possession. I know they’ll rely on counter attack with Kudos and Bowen to do the job.
However, I want Arsenal to win this game even though it’s going to be tough. I want them to take the top spot from Liverpool and maintain that spot till May.
It is of course all about being top of the table in May but leading the way at the festive time of year is often a good omen.
The margin of a team's advantage at Christmas is a much better indication of their likelihood to finish as champions. I think no team has been top at Christmas in consecutive seasons and failed to win the title in either year.
I want Arsenal to win not for the purpose of just staying at the top and been flipped back to second our target now should be the Premier League because if they can gap other clubs with a more reasonable point it will give them a good chance even if they lose any game and that is part of the strategy that Manchester City used to win so its time for Arsenal to adopt that same process, the way we were expecting heat but to some extent they are still trying. And Arsenal versus West ham it going to be interesting and Arsenal should just win and that is how important this game is to arteta.
And west Arsenal for Carabao Cup was not a good one for Arsenal at all West ham winning Arsenal 3: 1 so its going to be a tough game.
