Matchday 17 sees a London derby when Arsenal entertains West Ham at the Emirates. Arsenal are in sixth position with 26 points and West Ham are in fourth position with 28 points. Both teams are chasing the Champions League spots and an Arsenal victory will see them leapfrog the Hammers into fourth spot. Arsenal lost their first home match of the season to Chelsea and have since been unbeaten at home. They have the joint best home record with league leaders Manchester City. They are unbeaten in their last ten home matches across all competitions. Arsenal will be glad to be home as they lost three matches in a row on the road. Their last match saw them return to winning ways when they beat Southampton 3-0 at home. Arsenal have won 10 of their last 11 home matches against West Ham with the one defeat coming in 2015.

West Ham had a firm grip of the fourth spot but just one win in their last five league matches has seen the chasing teams catch up to them with Arsenal and Manchester United leading the chase. They are without a win in their last three away matches with two losses and a draw. West Ham have only scored one goal in these three matches. They have lost their last six matches away to Arsenal with the last away win coming in 2015. West Ham have won their last two London derbies this season and will be looking for three straight derby wins for the first time since 2019.
