Arsenal vs West Ham: Premier League prediction, TV channel, live stream, team news, time, h2h

Arsenal host West Ham in their first home match of the season at the Emirates on Saturday.

The Gunners followed up their Community Shield success with an emphatic opening day victory over Fulham last weekend.

Confirmation of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s new deal should ensure a spring remains in their step.

Defeat at home to Newcastle last Saturday got West Ham off to an uninspiring start but a midweek victory over Charlton in the Carabao Cup got them back to winning ways.

Date, time and venue

Arsenal vs West Ham is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off on Saturday, September 19.

This match will be played behind closed doors at Old Trafford with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

How to watch

TV channel: The match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting from 5pm.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers will be able to stream the match online via the website and SkyGo app.

Team news

David Luiz, Shkodran Mustafi and Pablo Mari remains sidelines for the Gunners with Granit Xhaka missing last weekend's win over Fulham with a knock.

Manuel Lanzini is fit again for the Hammers with Sebastien Haller pushing for a start after two goals midweek.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 West Ham

The Gunners showed their lethal touch from the off against Fulham and a newly-signed Aubameyang at the Emirates will certainly fancy his chances of adding to his tally.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

This will be the 143rd meeting between these two sides with Arsenal winning 68 of those. West Ham have 35 victories of their own - but just one in their last 10 meetings.
