Match Details: October 4th, 2025 | Emirates Stadium | Premier League | 15:00

The Emirates Stadium prepares for a London derby this weekend, as an in-form Arsenal side hosts a West Ham team in the midst of turmoil. Mikel Arteta's Gunners enter Matchweek 7 sitting high in the Premier League table, having started the 2025/2026 campaign strongly and showcasing a formidable defensive record. However, the atmosphere will be dramatically different for the visitors, who arrive reeling from a poor run of form that recently saw a managerial change, with Nuno Espírito Santo overseeing his first West Ham match on Monday, a 1-1 draw with Everton.

Key Players to Watch: Arsenal vs West Ham United

Declan Rice (Arsenal): The former West Ham captain is a pivotal figure in the Arsenal midfield, returning to face his old club. He is expected to start in a mobile number eight role, influencing both defensive solidity and attacking build-up. Rice is crucial for ball progression and winning possession back, a key battleground against a West Ham side looking to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm. His all-action style is supported by the fact that Arsenal have a solid defensive record, conceding just 3 goals in their opening 6 Premier League matches. He also poses an attacking threat, especially from set pieces.

Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal): Arsenal's new striker has started the season well and is a primary source of goals for the Gunners. His physical presence and clinical finishing make him a constant threat against any defence. Gyökeres is currently one of Arsenal's leading scorers in the Premier League with 3 goals in the opening rounds. He is part of an Arsenal attack that has scored a total of 12 goals in their first six league games, and he will be looking to capitalise on West Ham's porous defence, which has conceded 13 goals in the same period.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United): West Ham's most reliable and dangerous attacking threat, often carrying the burden of their goal-scoring. He has been directly involved in a majority of the Hammers' league goals so far this season. Bowen is currently West Ham's joint-top scorer, accounting for a significant portion of their modest total with 3 goals from the team's total of 6 goals across all competitions. His pace and direct running on the counter-attack, demonstrated by his previous match-winning goal at the Emirates, make him a vital outlet for West Ham as they look to exploit any spaces left by the Arsenal defence.
