Supporters’ suffer from London derby lack of confidence
Billed as the decider as who is the worst Premier League club in London both teams could be said to be in awful form.
Arsenal have won just one of their past four matches at the London Stadium (D2, L1).
The Gunners have failed to score on their last two visits to the Hammers – since Alexis Sanchez scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 win in December 2016. Arsenal are winless in nine games in all competitions (D5, L4). It’s their worst run since a 10-match run under Terry Neill in 1977.
Arsenal have equalled their lowest points tally (19 points) after 15 matches of a Premier League season (first set in 1994-95). They are without a clean sheet in their last 11 matches in all competitions, since beating Bournemouth 1-0 on 6 October.
The Gunners have not won in six away league fixtures (D3, L3).
West Ham have accrued a league-low four points across their last eight league matches (W1, D1, L6).
West Ham are winless in four home fixtures, losing three of them and letting in nine goals in the process.
West Ham have lost a Premier League-high 29 matches on a Monday night.
The Hammers have conceded two goals or more in each of their past five fixtures.
In a Claret and Hugh poll of nearly 1,300 readers nearly 44% believe Arsenal will win tonight with only juts over 36% believing West Ham can win at home. The remaining 24% believe it will end in stalemate with a point a piece.
