Arsenal have dropped to sixth in the Premier League standings after winning just one of their last five games.
While West Ham travel to the Emirates Stadium on a winless run of six matches, which has seen them move just six points off the relegation zone.

And Owen believes the Gunners can get back to winning ways against the Hammers, who they thrashed 5-1 at the London Stadium last December.
Owen told BetVictor: “If Burnley are in danger of getting embroiled in a battle to avoid the drop the same can also be said of West Ham.
“[They have] now lost more points (20) from winning positions than any other side in the division following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Hull on Saturday.
“The Hammers won this fixture on the opening weekend of last season but that was their only win at the home of the Gunners in their last 17 league visits.
“I expect to see a home win.”
