West Ham’s situation is simple: they need results, and quickly. Relegation pressure can make games chaotic, but it can also bring a level of aggression and urgency that keeps a struggling side alive. That means Arsenal are unlikely to get an easy ride, even if they arrive as the stronger side on paper.
For Arsenal, the margin for error is gone. Dropped points here could be the difference between winning the league and missing out, so the pressure is huge. The expectation is that Mikel Arteta’s side will push hard to control the game, but West Ham’s desperation should still create moments of danger and intensity.
