West Ham vs. Arsenal live score: Premier League result, updates, stats from London derby

Arsenal will look to continue their recent upturn when they travel across London to West Ham on what could be a big weekend in the Premier League title race.

Leaders Liverpool host ailing champions Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday and the prospects of their two biggest rivals for glory taking points off one another means Arsenal will want to take full advantage.

Mikel Arteta’s men demolished an abject West Ham 6-0 in this fixture last season, although the Hammers won 2-0 themselves at the Emirates Stadium last term and a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium in April 2023 was a key moment in the 2022/23 title battle turning decisively against Arsenal.

West Ham have endured a difficult first few months under Julen Lopetegui but have two consecutive clean sheets and claimed an impressive 2-0 win at Newcastle last time out.

West Ham vs. Arsenal live updates, highlights, and commentary17 mins: Summerville lifts a lovely finish over Raya but he set off too soon to get on the end of Bowen’s pass and is flagged offside. VAR confirms the disappointment swiftly enough. Blushes spared for Calafiori, who dropped his team into all sorts of trouble with a dicey pass.

14 mins: West Ham see off the danger this time. Still, and it is easier said than done, it might be a good idea for them to stop giving away corners quite so frequently.

13 mins: Trossard runs at Wan-Bissaka, who blocks behind. Here come the cavalry again.

10 mins: GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!! Gabriel!!!!

Corner No. 2 does the job. Arsenal lay the groundwork for some tomfoolery with all their players bunching at the back post for Saka’s right-wing delivery. They all rush towards the goalmouth, Gabriel gets free at the near post and heads home.

8 mins: Cleared as far as Odegaard and Arsenal settle back into their passing, not looking to force the issue.

7 mins: Sedate start here. Wan-Bissaka blocks behind and Rice will take a corner for set-piece specialists Arsenal

1st Half: Kick-offWe’re underway. West Ham were 4-0 down at halftime in this fixture last year. Something to aim for. Declan Rice getting a bit of a mixed reception.

5 mins before kickoff: Here come the teams into a crackling atmosphere, which can definitely still exist alongside a bubble machine.

30 mins before kickoff: Arsenal will get underway this evening sitting fifth in the table. To underline the heavily congested nature of the Premier League’s chasing pack, they would vault up to second with a draw against West Ham. The more significant statistic is the nine-point deficit to leaders Liverpool. We’ll be a third of the way through the season at the end of this weekend and the Gunners can’t really afford for that gap to be any bigger by tomorrow evening.

45 mins before kickoff: Even though those midfield injuries leave Arteta a little light in central areas, the big boost for Arsenal is Gabriel being fit to resume his supreme central defensive partnership with William Saliba. The Brazil international was a doubt after coming off during the emphatic midweek win over Sporting CP. West Ham’s pacey forward line will be keen to test him out early on.

1 hour before kickoff: Lopetegui will want more of the same from the West Ham side that took down Newcastle. To that end, he’s named an unchanged XI.

There’s a start for Jorginho at the base of the midfield, with no Thomas Partey (muscular) or Mikel Merino (knee) in the matchday squad.
