West Ham United vs Arsenal preview, predicted XI, team news and more
Arsenal are in the midst of their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign since 1977. With just four wins from 15 games, Arsenal's season is spiralling out of control. Occupying the 10th spot, the Gunners have the same number of points as Newcastle United and Sheffield United.
Following their shambolic display against Brighton, the Gunners will next travel to the London Stadium on Monday night to face West Ham United.
West Ham have also hit a rough patch and have only won once in their last nine games. Manager Manuel Pellegrini is running the risk of being sacked and needs to ensure his side's results improve quickly. West Ham's defensive woes are a huge cause for concern, with The Hammers having conceded 25 goals from 15 games.
