In arguably the most consequential fixture of the weekend’s Premier League action, West Ham host Arsenal at London Stadium.
For West Ham, currently sitting 18th in the table, the stakes could hardly be higher as they fight desperately to avoid relegation and will be determined to take all three points.
At the other end of the table, Arsenal stand on the brink of glory. Victory in their remaining three matches would secure their first league title in over 20 years, and they cannot afford any slip-ups against a side battling for survival.
However, that is often easier said than done, as a West Ham team scrapping for their Premier League status could prove to be dangerous opposition on home soil.
For those who will be following the action closely, read on as we take a look at a few of the key markets on offer with Sky Bet.
Guide for today’s blockbuster clash, as Arsenal and West Ham meet at London Stadium
Full-time Result
Predictably, Arsenal head into the contest as sizeable favourites despite being away from home, with Mikel Arteta’s side priced at 11/10.
The Gunners were in impressive form last time out, as a brace from Viktor Gyokeres and another goal from Bukayo Saka secured a commanding 3-0 win over Fulham.
In contrast, West Ham come into this one on the back of a 3-0 defeat, having been comfortably beaten by Brentford.
However, if you’re backing the Hammers to rise to the occasion and pull off what would be one of their most significant upsets of the season, they are priced at 17/4, while the draw is available at 16/5.
It is also worth noting that Arsenal were comfortable winners in the reverse fixture, running out 2-0 victors on that occasion.
Price Boosts
There are four Price Boosts on offer for this contest, with a mix of player and team-based selections.
The first two involve Eberechi Eze to register 3+ shots at 1/1, and Valentin Castellanos to have 2+ shots on target at 4/1.
Castellanos has been in consistent shooting form at home, recording six shots on target across his last three home fixtures, while Eze managed four shots in the reverse fixture.
The remaining two boosts focus on Declan Rice to score anytime at 5/1, and Arsenal to score 4+ goals at 13/2.
Rice found the net in the reverse fixture against his former club earlier this season, while Arsenal’s recent record at London Stadium makes for ominous reading for West Ham, with their last two visits producing emphatic 5-2 and 6-0 victories.
