Arsenal vs West Ham United Tickets

When two London-based sides meet, fireworks can usually be expected as the English capital lights up with the action in the Premier League.

Arsenal vs West Ham United is no different, with both sides looking to outdo each other.

The Emirates Stadium is, of course, a supremely brilliant venue that boasts the capacity to seat 60,704 people. It is one of the newest stadiums in the league, which always makes visiting the arena a truly remarkable and special experience and is a venue that is certainly befitting of a side that has won no fewer than 13 league titles.

With two London rivals pitting themselves against each other, a fiery affair is always on the cards and one that has all the potential to be an instant classic between the two sides. When played in the northern part of the capital, though, the hosts will generally feel comfortable in their chances of securing all three points.

Arsenal vs West Ham United head-to-head

Arsenal have an incredibly strong recent record against West Ham. Between April 2016 and April 2023, these two sides met 16 times, with the Hammers winning just once.

The Gunners have racked up some big wins in that time. One example was a 4-1 rout of West Ham at the Emirates Stadium, in April 2018.

This game was actually close with both sides going in goalless at half-time. Nacho Monreal scored just after the break, with Marko Arnautovic equalising.

In the final eight minutes, Arsenal produced a fine attacking display to win 4-1, with Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette (2) on the scoresheet.

West Ham wins at Arsenal are very rare but in August 2015, the Hammers won 2-0 at the Emirates thanks to goals from Cheikhou Kouyate and Mauro Zarate.
