West Ham United’s woes are set to worsen as they brace for a seventh consecutive match without a win in all competitions, with Chris Sutton tipping Arsenal to triumph in their clash on Sunday, February 11.
The former BBC Sport pundit foresees David Moyes’ squad failing to recover from their 3-0 defeat to Manchester United, predicting Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to secure a 2-0 victory at the London Stadium.
With Arsenal riding a wave of success after three consecutive Premier League wins and trailing league leaders Liverpool by only two points, Sutton anticipates the Gunners seeking revenge for their December loss to West Ham.
In his latest BBC Sport Premier League predictions, Sutton remarks, “West Ham’s strategy will mirror their previous encounter, aiming to stifle Arsenal’s attack while exploiting set-pieces. However, this time, Arsenal will break through and continue their triumphant run.”
Despite West Ham’s historical double over Arsenal in the 2006-07 season, Sutton believes they’ll have to wait longer for a repeat performance.
As Arsenal mounts pressure on Moyes and West Ham, the Hammers’ recent dismal form, including a six-game winless streak against low-ranking opponents, has raised concerns among supporters. The upcoming match against Arsenal becomes crucial for Moyes and his team, with the potential consequences of Sutton’s prediction casting a shadow over the London Stadium.
