West Ham host London rivals Arsenal this weekend, with both teams looking to build on impressive victories. The Hammers produced a classic away performance to seal three points at Newcastle on Monday night in a much-needed boost. The pressure was hugely on Julen Lopetegui to get a result, and they left Tyneside with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Meanwhile, Arsenal ended their mini-winless league run with an emphatic victory over Nottingham Forest. The Gunners then battered Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in midweek, so their confidence will be high ahead of the short trip across the capital. This will be the third time that Declan Rice has played at the London Stadium since his £105million move to Arsenal. This is because the Gunners faced the Hammers in the Carabao Cup last year away from home. On his last visit, he scored in a 6-0 win for Arsenal and refused to celebrate as a mark of respect to his former club. He made 245 appearances for West Ham, starting as a centre-back before turning into an all-action midfielder. He also helped them win the Europa Conference League title, so certainly left his mark while in east London. The reception he received last year was mixed, so it will be interesting to see what happens this time. This Premier League game is set to take place on Saturday, November 30. Kick-off at the London Stadium is scheduled for 5: 30pm. The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League. Sky Go customers will be able to stream the action through their laptops or mobile devices.

Lukasz Fabianski has reclaimed his position as the Hammers' number one goalkeeper ahead of Alphonse Areola. Wan-Bissaka and Emerson are the first-choice full-backs, but Lopetegui could be forced into a change at centre-back. Jean-Clair Todibo had to come off early in the second half against Newcastle with an unspecified problem, meaning Konstantinos Mavropanos is likely to start alongside Max Kilman. Carlos Soler impressed against Newcastle in midfield alongside Soucek, who scored yet again. Mohammed Kudus is still suspended after his initial three-match ban was extended to five after he hit two Tottenham players in the face in a recent defeat. That means Crysencio Summerville is likely to be on the left again. Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio are also nailed on to start. For Arsenal, David Raya is the undisputed number one. William Saliba will be the right-sided centre-back, but there is a doubt over Gabriel Magalhaes, who was withdrawn against Sporting. If he can't play, expect to see Riccardo Calafiori move into the middle, with Jurrien Timber at left-back and Thomas Partey at right-back. That would see Mikel Merino come into midfield to join Martin Odegaard and Rice. Bukayo Saka will be on the right, while Leandro Trossard is likely to fill in for Gabriel Martinelli, who limped off in midweek. Kai Havertz is more than likely to lead the line. After Arsenal secured their first European away win in in 13 months, Arteta was full of praise for his side. He said: “I don’t think they’ve lost here in 18 months. “They’ve been in top form, they’ve been better than everyone they’ve played here. To play to that level with the fluidity that we’ve done today, very pleased. The performance was there a few times when we have played big teams. We played PSG and we were exceptional again. We played Bayern and were exceptional. But we made some mistakes and it cost us. "That’s the level. We have to be able to cope. You have to make it happen. That creates belief. We need that consistency because the ability is there. It’s a big performance, a big win and we’re really happy. ” Match odds: West Ham - 6/1 Draw - 18/5 Arsenal - 2/5 Bet Boost - Arsenal to win, Saka to score & Paqueta to be carded @ 8/1 (was 13/2) *odds subject to change BLACK FRIDAY DEAL - Bet £10 and get £60 in bonuses CLAIM HERE T&Cs: 18+ New Customers Only.
