> Match Date/Timings: 28/12/2023

8:15 PM UTC / 10:15 PM CEST

Arsenal continues to fight for first place in the standings. Liverpool have already won their 19th round match and temporarily beat the Gunners by two points. Today they need to win to regain the leading position In the last five rounds, they suffered two misfires. The team lost to Aston Villa away with a score of 0:1, and also lost to Liverpool (1:1) in the previous championship match. Since the beginning of the season, Arsenal have not suffered a single defeat at home  seven wins and two draws. 

At the moment, they have an open winning streak at the Emirates of seven matches in all tournaments, and have conceded only two goals in this period. Among the losses in the squad, note the absence of midfielder Kai Havertz due to disqualification . Defender Takehiro Tomiyasu and midfielders Thomas Partey and Fabio Viera will not play today due to injuries.

West Ham have won two victories in a row and are approaching the upcoming match in seventh position in the standings. They managed to win at home against Wolverhampton (3:0) and Manchester United (2:0). Throughout the season, the Hammers have achieved the greatest success on their home field, gaining 17 points. On the road, the results are worse  only 13 points scored.

They played very poorly defensively in away matches. The team conceded 20 goals in nine matches. Over the last five games, one could observe outright failures with Aston Villa (1:4), Fulham (0:5). Ahead is a trip to the Emirates, where since 2017 they have not even managed to play a draw eight defeats in a row in all tournaments.

FORUM PREDICTION: 

1. Total over 2.5 goals 

2. Both team to score Yes

3. Arsenal win the match.
