Arsenal and West Ham United face off on Monday in an English Premier League showdown at Emirates Stadium. When these two teams faced off on May 1st it was Arsenal that secured the 2-1 victory. 

Arsenal currently sits in 1st place in the group, having picked up 37 points so far this year. On December 17th Arsenal faced off against Juventus, and they were defeated 2-0. They had 75 percent of the possession but only had two shots on goal, and they need more production here, or they could struggle. Jesus picked up a bad knee injury in the World Cup, and he will be out the next couple of months. William Saliba played in the World Cup, but there is a chance he will be able to play in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is West Ham, who sits in 16th place in the group having picked up 14 points. West Ham played against Ful on December 17th, and that game ended in a 1-1 draw. On December 10th they faced off against Udinese, and they played to a 3-1 victory in that game. West Ham also comes into the game with a whole slew of injury issues. Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca are both not expected to play in this game as they deal with injuries. Nayef Aguerd and Aaron Cresswell are also dealing with fitness injuries, and they could miss this game, although they should be back soon. 

Not having Jesus is a big loss for this Arsenal team, but they have so many other talents to score goals, they still should find the back of the net a few times. Arsenal is going to score at least two goals here, and that will be the difference here. Back Arsenal on the money line.
