Arsenal look for three points away against West Ham
Kick-off : 8:00 PM (Local)
Venue : London Stadium, London
Arsenal drew 1-1 with Southampton at the weekend having lost to United 1-3 at the previous weekend. They know they need to keep winning games.
Gunners are currently on 29 points from 16 games. They trail Manchester City by 17 points, who are on top.
On the other hand, West Ham will be confident going into the midweek game as they defeated Chelsea 1-0 at the weekend.
The Hammers though are currently on just 13 points from 16 games and are lying in the bottom half of the table.
So far Arsenal and West Ham have played each other 135 times. Out of that the Gunners have won 63 times while West ham have won 34 times, 38 other games have been a draw.
It should be a good game on Wednesday night as both teams will give their all.
