Head to head

The last three Premier League games between the two sides have ended in an Arsenal victory. Previously this season, Arsenal beat the Hammers 3-1 at the Emirates, thanks to goals from Saka, Nketiah and Martinelli, who are all exciting prospects for the future of Arsenal.

Crucial players

Arsenal’s key man this season is undoubtedly Bukayo Saka. The youngster has positively impacted Arsenal this season and contributed massively to their drastic improvement. Saka has twenty-two goal contributions this season in the Premier League, scoring twelve and assisting ten.

West Ham’s Premier League top goal scorer this season is Danny Ings. The Hammers signed Ings from Aston Villa in the January transfer window for £15m. Danny Ings has scored eight goals in the Premier League this season, but only two goals have come since he joined the Hammers. Ings will be looking to rekindle his form going into the last nine games of the season and will be looking to go through the remainder of the season with no more injury scares.

Newcastle's form under Eddie Howe

Since Eddie Howe arrived at the club in November 2021, Premier League fans have seen a drastic change in how Newcastle play.
