Famous player Paul Merson said that Arsenal has the ability to defeat West Ham. Saka has recovered and Skelly is also in good condition. These two are Arsenal's advantages.
In the new round of the Premier League starting tonight, that is, the 36th round, Arsenal will challenge West Ham away from home. This game is judged to be the last obstacle for Arsenal to win the Premier League championship this season; Merson claimed that this game is definitely Manchester City’s final expectation after losing points in the championship process. After this game, Arsenal will meet the challenge of Burnley at their home court, and in the last round of the league, they will leave their home court to challenge Crystal Palace away. Since Crystal Palace will participate in the UEFA Europa League final, they will definitely rest all their main players against Arsenal and not play.
Merson then said that West Ham will understand that this will definitely be a difficult game and they must attack proactively because they are behind Tottenham in the standings. However, I feel that the format they are playing is not suitable for Arsenal.
Merson mentioned two Arsenal players, "Saka seems to be in good condition, and Skelly has also performed well in recent games. The problem is this, Skelly did not play 50 or even 60 games like Rice or Suvimendi. He was the key player in the season. The period has brought new vitality to the midfield. Saka and Skelly are in the same situation. In the final stage of the championship, similar to the two new signings signed by Arsenal, I firmly believe that Arsenal will win easily and the score is 2-0. If this is the case, Manchester City will be miserable!"
Another guest was Chris Sutton, who also pointed out that after Saka returned to the lineup, Arsenal's offensive line showed a completely different situation. It will be difficult for West Ham to stop it, but they are in desperate need of a victory after last weekend's defeat, and it is even more detrimental to them when other teams fighting against relegation have won.
Chris Sutton followed up and said that if you only look at this game, the ending of the draw is not a disaster for West Ham. However, this also depends on the result of Tottenham's game against Leeds United next Monday. Even if West Ham gets 1 point, the gap may be widened. Arsenal won a major victory at West Ham's home court last season and last season. I don't think they will score five or six goals again this time, but I also don't see the possibility of them making mistakes.
