At 4:15 a.m. Beijing time on Friday, December 29, 2023, the 19th round of the English Premier League ushered in an exciting matchup, with Arsenal fighting a hot-hot West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium. In order not to miss this exciting event, hurry up and follow along with an in-depth analysis!
Recent results: Arsenal drew with Liverpool away from home in the last round of the league, with a 1-1 scoreline keeping them unbeaten in their last three matches (one win, two draws), and the team's form is still solid. As league leaders, Arsenal are still strong contenders for the title this season, and the desire to win is extremely strong. So far this season, they have averaged two goals per game in the league and have shown consistent attacking quality. It is worth mentioning that the Gunners have recently won an impressive seven consecutive home games. Against the Hammers, I believe they will go all out and try to get all three points.
West Ham United won at home to Manchester United in the last round of the league, and the score of 2-0 made the team have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 games, and the form has improved significantly. They are currently climbing to 6th in the table, just one step away from European qualification next season. However, West Ham's record on the road has not been great, with just three wins and five defeats in their last eight away games. Away to league leaders Arsenal in this round, West Ham are still aiming for a point.
Analysis: Arsenal's overall performance this season has been significantly better than West Ham's, with the Gunners having won as much as 60% of their last 10 meetings with the Hammers. In addition, Arsenal's strong performance at home in the league was also a key factor in their victory tonight. In the first nine rounds of home league matches, Arsenal won an astonishing 7 wins and 2 draws, showing unrivalled home power. All things considered, tonight's game should be favoured for Arsenal to take all three points.
