Arsenal vs West Ham: Match Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 4, 2025

This Saturday, Arsenal will face West Ham at the Emirates Stadium as part of Premier League Matchday 7. A bet on goals in this match looks promising.

Match Preview

Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, enters the game with strong momentum, having won four league matches already. In their last game, they rallied from behind to beat Newcastle with late goals. At home, Arsenal presents a powerful offense, scoring nine goals so far, and they hold the best home attack in the league.

However, their defense raises some concerns, as they often concede goals, making it challenging to balance their attack and defense. Arteta will rely on Declan Rice’s midfield contributions and Eze’s creativity, while Gyökeres and Saka lead the attack. Despite some injury troubles, Arsenal remains the favorite.

On the other hand, West Ham, led by David Moyes, finds itself near the bottom of the table, struggling with defensive issues. In their last match, they drew with Everton, again failing to secure a clean sheet. West Ham has the highest number of conceded goals in the league, which is worrying as they head to the Emirates.

Despite these issues, West Ham tends to perform better away from home. Their last five away matches include three wins and one draw, showing they can secure results on the road. They will rely on the partnership between Bowen and Füllkrug, along with Lucas Paquetá’s creativity to break through tough defenses.

Probable Line-ups

• Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Magalhães, Mosquera, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Trossard, Gyökeres, Saka
• West Ham: Areola, Kilman, Mavropanos, Walker-Peters, Magassa, Diouf, Paquetá, Fernandes, Bowen, Summerville, Füllkrug

Match Facts and H2H

• Arsenal has scored nine goals at home this season, the most in the Premier League.
• West Ham has conceded 14 goals, ranking last in defensive performance.
• In six of the last eight matches at the Emirates, West Ham has scored at least once.

Prediction

While Arsenal is the favorite, West Ham has a chance due to their attacking skills. Arsenal consistently scores at home, but their defensive vulnerabilities give opponents opportunities. Based on historical stats and recent performances, expecting goals from both teams appears logical. A recommended bet is “Over 2.5 goals” at odds of 1.58.
