Premier League leader Arsenal returns to action when it hosts West Ham looking to increase its lead on the traditional Boxing Day. Arsenal is carrying out a great campaign and dreams of a title again after almost 20 years. West Ham for its part is having a very bad campaign where it is closer to the relegation places than to those in European competitions. When: Monday, December 26 at 3:00 pm ET at the Emirates Stadium Moneyline odds: Arsenal -191 West Ham +510 Draw Offs: +340 Where Can I Watch it? The leader of the tournament goes out to the field of the Emirates, which will surely have a packed house after Christmas and this being the first official game in more than 1 month. The ‘Gunners’ come first in the Premier League with 37 points, 5 more than Manchester City, after 14 games. Mikel Arteta is expected to have almost his entire team, except for William Saliba, who will only be arriving this weekend after being in the World Cup final with the French team, and the injured Reiss Nelson, Gabriel Jesús, and Emile Smith Rowe. The rest of the players who were in Qatar 2022 are already training with the team and most have even played friendly matches. Likewise, it should be noted that Ben White, who left the English concentration in the World Cup due to a personal problem, is already with Arsenal and played in the last friendlies. Precisely in these matches, the ‘Gunners’ beat Lyon and Milan, while they lost to Juventus. At home this season in the Premier they have won all their matches. West Ham hopes that the “mini vacation” they had for the World Cup has helped them clear their minds. The “Hammers”, despite having very good players, are having a very bad season. They have only been able to get 14 points out of a possible 45 and are in 16th place with 1 point more than Nottingham Forest, who are 18th and in the relegation zone. David Moyes’ team cannot afford to be so low in the table, especially since last year they were semifinalists in the Europa League. Lucas Paquetá and Declan Rice, who were in Qatar in 2022, are back with the team and will surely start this Monday. For his part, Nayef Aguerd, a great World Cup player with Morocco, ended up with some discomfort and it is not known if he will be able to face Arsenal. West Ham spent around 200 million euros this season, however, the results are not as expected. They are the fourth team that scores the fewest goals and as a visitor, they have only been able to obtain 4 points out of 21 possible and score 3 goals. ‘Boxing Day’ gives us this Monday an attractive match in London where Arsenal arrives as the top favorite due to their position in the table. However, they have not played an official match for more than 1 month. Despite this, our bet is for the “Gunners” who are looking for their first Premier League title in almost 20 years. At MyBookie.ag we find that Arsenal is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -191, while West Ham has +510 and the draw is +340. The last time they met was on May 1 of this year and Arsenal won 2-1 away with goals from defenders Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes. Also, the “Gunners” have 6 games undefeated with 5 wins. The last time West Ham won was on January 12, 2019, 1-0, and it is the only victory for the “Hammers” in the last 14 games. Go for a straight win for Arsenal in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -191, you will gain $52 for a total payout of $152.
