Fresh Boxing Day derby predictions for Arsenal v West Ham

The Premier League returns on Boxing Day and an Arsenal v West Ham London derby will highlight the day. If these two’s forms are anything like it was before the break, the Hammers will most likely get hammered. But let’s look at something a bit more recent. The Gunners had 10 players at the World Cup but only William Saliba remains. Before England crashed out of the tournament, all eyes were on Bukayo Saka. But let’s get into the Arsenal v West Ham predictions.
The 21-year-old had three goals in five matches and was among the best-performing English players. After these performances, we think he’ll have an even bigger role in Arsenal’s future. Neither Jesus’ nor Ben White’s returns are clear so we might see Eddie Nketiah in the starting lineup. It’s been some time since we experienced Premier League football and we’re not expecting a high-scoring match right after its return.
Online sportsbook sites in the UK favour Arsenal by over 60% for this matchup. The Gunners are still five points clear of City and they should maintain this distance after they face West Ham. We predict a 2-1 finish for the Arsenal v West Ham match. Martin Odegaard could score anytime as well so keep an eye on your bets and the young Norwegian.
