Arsenal vs West Ham 2022 to Be Played at Emirates Stadium

Arsenal Have No Intention of Stopping, and They Want to Top the Premiership

The Gunners‘ performance this season is taking everyone’s breath away. And when opponents are spectators to their other games, they see the kind of team they will have to face soon.

On the ninth matchday, Arsenal’s record was 8 wins and only one loss, an incredible start.

But they still have a lot of games to play, like Arsenal vs West Ham, but there’s little doubt they will struggle too greatly to grab three more points from this one.

West Ham Looks to Carve Out a Niche for Itself to Stay in the Top Flight

West Ham is trying to overcome a chaotic season start consisting of three consecutive defeats.

This blow meant they had to react, and after this, they managed to score three wins and a draw by their ninth matchday. This helped them move away from the last positions.

They should not be too confident, though. The midtable is a scrappy fight, and Arsenal vs West Ham is a game they will have to face with the conviction of being able to hurt their opponents.
