Why you should back Arsenal
The Gunners would have loved a victory, but taking a point at Anfield is no easy task and the match could have gone either way. Gabriel put Arsenal up 1-0 just four minutes in, but Mohamed Salah equalized before halftime. The hosts are 6-2-1 in their past nine meetings with the Hammers, with the only loss in an EFL Cup match where several key players rested. Arsenal have a versatile attack that often runs through Bukayo Saka (five goals, six assists) and Martin Odegaard (four, three).
Declan Rice also has become a critical piece for the Gunners and will be facing his former team for the first time in league play. The former West Ham star has three goals and an assist and is one of the favorites to be EPL Player of the Year for his all-around excellence. Arsenal have been formidable at home this season, going 7-2-0 with a 26-8 goal advantage at the Emirates. The Hammers are 4-1-4 away from home, giving up 20 goals. They have allowed 14 more goals than Arsenal for the season. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back West Ham
The Hammers have proven many times that they can compete with anyone. They have victories against Spurs and Chelsea this season and had a pretty easy time with Manchester United last weekend. Lucas Paqueta had a hand in both goals against the Red Devils, giving him five assists. James Ward-Prowse also has set up five goals in his first season with the team, and Jarrod Bowen continues to be a threat to score at any time. He is tied for third in the Premier League with 11 goals.
Bowen scored the equalizer in the most recent league meeting, and the 2-2 draw was part of a four-match winless run that cost Arsenal a chance at the title. The Hammers held just 28% possession but had a 16-11 advantage in shots. Arsenal are in the bottom half of the league in terms of accuracy, with 31.5% of their shots on target, compared to 35.4% for West Ham. See which team to pick here.
