The final fixture of the festive period in the Premier League takes place on the 28th of December as Arsenal meet West Ham United.
The match will be played at the Emirates Stadium and the hosts are currently 2nd in the table on 40 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 30 points.
Arsenal come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend.
The Gunners opened the scoring after only 4 minutes and had the better of the opening exchanges.
However, Liverpool equalised in the 29th minute and Arsenal were happy to come away from Anfield with a point.
The draw at Liverpool means Arsenal are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 fixtures in all competitions.
However, they have won only 2 of their 5 most recent matches, with the wins coming over Luton Town away and Brighton at home in the Premier League.
There was a 1-1 draw at PSV in the Champions League and a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Trends show Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 14 home matches in all competitions.
They have won each of their last 5 home Premier League games and have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of their last 4 league fixtures on home soil.
West Ham make the short journey to the Emirates Stadium having beat Manchester United 2-0 at home in the Premier League last weekend.
With the score 0-0 at half time, the Hammers took the lead in the 72nd minute and doubled their advantage just 6 minutes later to take maximum points.
The victory over Manchester United means West Ham have won 3 of their 4 most recent matches in all competitions.
There have been wins at home over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League and Freiburg in the Europa League.
Trends show in their last 11 games in all competitions, West Ham have been undefeated on 9 occasions.
They are undefeated in 6 of their 7 most recent Premier League matches and have won 2 of their last 3 league games on the road.
However, West Ham have lost 4 of their last 6 away Premier League fixtures and have seen both teams score in 9 of their last 10 most recent away trips in the league.
Team news: Arsenal are without suspended midfielder Kai Havertz. Takehiro Tomiyasu, Fábio Vieira, Thomas Partey, and Jurrien Timber are injured.
West Ham have doubts over the fitness of Nayef Aguerd and Michail Antonio but every other player should be fit and available for David Moyes.
This will be a big test of West Ham’s recent good form and they could find the back of the net in this game.
However, Arsenal look like serious title contenders this season and they should extend their excellent home run with another Premier League victory.
