West Ham face Arsenal on Sunday in the Premier League, and this one could be a really intriguing clash.

Based on recent form, you’d think that Arsenal were heading into this one as heavy favourites. However, the Hammers do have a knack of causing the odd upset against the Gunners.

The east Londoners have already beaten Arsenal twice this season, while they pinched a point from Mikel Arteta’s side towards the end of last term too.

This is quite an unpredictable clash, and speaking to The Metro, Dimitar Berbatov has had a go at predicting how this game will go.

Dimitar Berbatov predicts Arsenal will beat West Ham

The pundit shared his verdict on how this game will go.

“Depending on which West Ham team turns up for the game, they can cause the opposition trouble or they can give the opposition space to score goals. The only thing Arsenal need to do is win because they’re waiting on Liverpool and Man City to make a mistake. This is why it’s good play after your rivals sometimes, so you know exactly what you need to do. They’re watching you on TV, you drop points and the whole team is like, ‘okay guys, now is the time to catch up to them’. It will be a tight game, but I’ll go for Arsenal,” Berbatov said.

Must win

We’ll be saying this a lot between now and the end of the season, but this is a must win game for Arsenal.

The Gunners will be desperate to win the Premier League title and the only way they’ll crash Manchester City and Liverpool’s party is by winning these types of games.

It was a match at the London Stadium last season that started Arsenal’s ultimate decline, and they’ll be hoping that a win here this time around could have the opposite effect and spur them on to their ultimate goal.
