Arsenal and West Ham are awaiting this London’s derby after two consecutive defeats at the start of the new season. However, the “Gunners” have little justification in their very difficult schedule because they played in the first two rounds against Manchester City and Chelsea, while the “Hammers” were defeated by Liverpool and Bournemouth. We should also add that four of the last five mutual duels between these city rivals, ended in favour of Arsenal, while only one ended unresolved.

Arsenal

For this reason, they now expect a safe triumph over the “Hammers”, especially since they have mastered them on their Emirates three times in a row, while they are also obliged to their fans to come to first points after two defeats in a row this season. Otherwise, we all know that the “Gunners” have ended the cooperation with their coach Wenger this summer and engaged a new coach, Emery, but he had two very difficult matches at home right at the start, so they were defeated with 2-0 by Manchester City and 3-2 by Chelsea as guests.

However, they have already managed to return after two goals received at the early stages of the match, but in the second half their experienced goalkeeper Cech has once again capitulated, which has led to another defeat for the team of Arsenal. However, now they should now dictate the pace against the “Hammers”, which is why we expect some changes in the starting lineup, while they still cannot count on defensive players Koscielny, Kolasinac and Jenkinson and midfielder Maitland-Niles.

Probable lineups Arsenal: Cech – Bellerin, Mustafi, Sokratis, Monreal – Guendouzi, Torreira – Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Iwobi – Aubameyang

West Ham

As for the popular “Hammers”, they had a very tough job in the first round because they played against Liverpool as guests, which have defeated them with 4-0, while they once again disappointed their fans in the home match with Bournemouth, given that they were defeated with 2-1. This defeat is even more painful when we know that they even had the lead at half-time, thanks to a goal by Arnautovic from the white spot, but this did not seem to be enough since they received two goals from the 60th to 66th minute of the match.

Of course, they were extremely disappointed after this defeat, and it was certainly particularly difficult for a new coach Pellegrini, who has brought a lot of new players this summer, which is perhaps the main reason for these blunders at the beginning of the season. However, Pellegrini will probably make changes in the starting 11, with the proviso that striker Ried, midfielder Lanzini and striker Carroll are still out of action due to injuries.

Probable lineups West Ham: Fabianski – Zabaleta, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell – Noble, Sanchez – Yarmolenko, Wilshere, Anderson – Arnautovic

Verdict:

Despite the fact that Arsenal’s players will certainly give their best to finally come to their first win in the new season, the same situation is with their city rivals from West Ham, so we expect goals on both sides in this match.
