Paul Merson has given his verdict on how the match between David Moyes’s West Ham United and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will pan out.

The former Arsenal star and Sky Sports pundit thinks that there will be three goals in the London derby.

So, what has Paul Merson said ahead of West Ham United against Arsenal? Let’s take a look.

Paul Merson backs Arsenal to win vs West Ham United

Well, West Ham United and Arsenal will lock horns with each other at London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Hammers are eighth in the league table with 36 points from 23 matches, while the Gunners, who scouted Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto and Brentford striker Ivan Toney on Saturday, are third with 49 points from 23 games.

Arsenal are five points behind leaders Liverpool, who have played 24 matches and won against Burnley at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

Former Arsenal star and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has backed Arsenal to pick up all three points from the London derby against West Ham courtesy of a 2-1 win.

Merson told SportsKeeda: “Arsenal can’t drop any points between now and the end of the season and are coming on the back of a statement 3-1 win against Liverpool.

“I think they’ll win this one but this is West Ham’s cup final – they’ll be looking forward to facing their London rivals. David Moyes’ side haven’t won a Premier League game since beating Arsenal in the reverse fixture nearly a month and a half ago, which shows that they are on a terrible run of form.

“This is where Arsenal are at the moment – they are a very good team, but they need to show their killer instinct and see off games if they are to win their first league title in over 20 years.

“Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Arsenal.”

My View: Arsenal will win vs West Ham United

In my opinion, Arsenal will win against West Ham United at London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners have won their last three Premier League matches. Arsenal beat Liverpool last weekend.

Yes, West Ham have a strong team and are at home, but they are not in great form at the moment. The Hammers have won none of their last four Premier League games.
