Nuno Espírito Santo takes his West Ham side to the Emirates Stadium for just his second game in charge, facing one of the toughest tests in the Premier League.
The Hammers showed newfound resilience to earn a draw at Everton in his first match. They will need more of the same against the title-chasing Gunners.
West Ham can, however, draw on an incredible recent record at this ground. They are looking to become only the second team in the Premier League era to win three consecutive away games against Arsenal. Their hopes may rest on captain Jarrod Bowen, who is in fine form and scored the winning goal in this exact fixture last season.
Nuno Espírito Santo will be without midfielder Tomáš Souček, who serves the final game of his suspension, while George Earthy is a new long-term absentee with a hamstring problem. There is some positive news, however, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka back in team training and pushing for a return to the squad.
Furthermore, striker Niclas Füllkrug has made a rapid recovery from a calf injury and is in contention to lead the line. The main attacking threat will likely come from captain Jarrod Bowen, who has scored five career goals against Arsenal.
West Ham United predicted XI: Areola; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf; Magassa; Bowen, Fernandes, Paqueta, Summerville; Fullkrug
The Premier League fixture will be played at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 4 October 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 pm BST.
The match will not be broadcast live in the UK due to the 3:00 pm blackout.
