On Sunday, West Ham and Arsenal will play a Premier League match at the London Stadium. The Hammers will be keen to win because they haven’t experienced victory in the previous five games. However, the Gunners would prefer to continue their winning streak in order to maintain their position close to the top of the points table. They recently defeated Liverpool 3-1.
West Ham United vs Arsenal: Talking Tactics
As in the previous games, David Moyes will arrange his squad in a 4-2-3-1 system and advise them to sit back. To score goals, they’ll rely on strong goalpost defense and try to launch quick counterattacks.
Conversely, Mikel Arteta will insist that his team play at a fast pace and maintain possession. The Gunners will attempt to exert pressure on their rivals and break through West Ham United’s defensive line. To generate opportunities, they will also depend on set pieces.
