Arsenal head to the London Stadium this Sunday with one clear goal: to reclaim their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. Currently sitting just two points clear after Manchester City’s commanding 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday, the Gunners know that every match from here on out is a cup final.
Fresh off a midweek Champions League final triumph, Mikel Arteta’s squad is buzzing with confidence. Their recent record against West Ham is nothing short of dominant—Arsenal have won their last two away fixtures against the Hammers by a combined score of 11-2. A victory this weekend would put them within striking distance of their first league title in two decades, needing just two more wins to potentially seal the deal.
Team news brings good news for the Gunners. Arteta confirmed that everyone who featured in Tuesday’s historic win over Atletico Madrid is available for selection. Bukayo Saka and Ben White are expected to continue their electric partnership on the right flank—a duo that has been the engine of Arsenal’s late-season surge. However, Mikel Merino and Jurrien Timber remain sidelined as they work through their recoveries.
Arsenal have been a set-piece nightmare for opponents this season, netting 27 goals from dead-ball situations in the league alone. Since arriving in January, Viktor Gyökeres has been a revelation, scoring nine times in his last 12 appearances. Myles Lewis-Skelly is likely to hold his spot in midfield alongside former West Ham captain Declan Rice, while Martin Odegaard could return to the starting XI, allowing Eberechi Eze to shift to the left side of attack.
Predicted Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Eze, Trossard; Gyokeres.
The action kicks off at 16:30 BST on Sunday, 10 May 2026, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event (UK). Subscribers can also stream via the Sky Go app.
