18:16 , Chris Wilson83 mins
GOAL! The visitors break the deadlock and it’s courtesy of Leandro Trossard!
Odegaard is once again at the heart of it, exchanging passes with Rice before keeping his composure in the box to lay it off for Trossard, who fires low and sees his effort taken past Hermansen via the hel of a small deflection!
Odegaard falls to his knees as bedlam erupts among the away fans! That goal could be the one that seals the title!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal

West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
18:11 , Chris Wilson78 mins
SAVE! Oh what a chance this is for West Ham! The biggest of the game so far.
It comes from a slick passage of play with some one-touch passes that sees Fernandes played clean through.
He’s close to Raya and the angle is tight but take nothing away from the save, with the Spaniard getting down brilliantly and waiting for the perfect time to stick a leg out to keep his side level!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
18:09 , Chris Wilson77 mins
A yellow card for Saka now as a trailing leg clips Summerville. The Hammers will have a chance to put the ball in the box from deep.
Diouf’s ball in is poor though, and the chance goes begging.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
18:08 , Chris Wilson76 mins
A chance for West Ham now as Bowen’s cross is flashed towards goal and forces Raya to tip it wide.
The Arsenal ‘keeper does well to punch out Bowen’s cross from the corner too.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
18:07 , Chris Wilson74 mins
A superb pass from Rice to pick out Saka in the area but he’d strayed just offside.
Arsenal are starting ti play as if they know time is running out!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
18:04 , Chris Wilson71 mins
A swift West Ham corner sees the ball spread wide to Diouf, who produces a great early cross targeting Pablo.
It’s a great effort but Rice does so well to track back and prevent the Brazilian striker making clean contact.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
18:03 , Chris Wilson69 mins
CLOSE!
It’s another good delivery from Rice and it causes some pinball in the box as Pablo falls on it before it’s poked goalwards and cleared off the line!
Arsenal want a penalty as Pablo falls and appears to handle the ball when he’s on the floor, but it would be harsh as there was nothing he could do. It’s quickly overturned.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
18:00 , Chris Wilson68 mins
Todibo is the next player in the book as he shoves over Gyokeres on the left wing. Another dangerous set-piece for the Gunners!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:58 , Chris Wilson66 mins
A change for West Ham now as Pablo comes on for Taty Castellanos at striker.
Arteta responds with a double change of his own, Eze and Zubimendi making way for Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:55 , Chris Wilson63 mins
Arsenal have re-discovered a bit of urgency, helped this time by Rice with another marauding run forward.
This time the England midfielder wins a free-kick around 30 yards out, slightly towards the right wing.
However, a push from Mosquera means the set-piece comes to nothing.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:53 , Chris Wilson60 mins
Nothing comes of the corner as it ends with Rice clipping a ball that escapes all of his teammates.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:51 , Chris Wilson58 mins
Better from Saka and Trossard as the England winger makes a clever run and his teammate nearly finds him with a great through ball, winning a corner in the process.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:49 , Chris Wilson56 mins
It’s all a little too pedestrian from Arsenal at the moment, even though the visitors are dominating possession.
Saka finds the space for a shot from the edge of the area but he fires over.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:46 , Chris Wilson53 mins
Eze does well to slip it into the path of Saka but there’s a little too much on it and the winger is forced into a tame cross that Disasi heads away well.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:43 , Chris Wilson51 mins
Saka has the first sight of goal for Arsenal but he lines it up from outside the box before firing high and wide.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:41 , Chris Wilson48 mins
West Ham have the first chance of the half as Wan-Bissaka takes it down well before slipping it to Bowen.
The Hammers captain sees his cross cleared but he latches onto the loose ball, only to hit a tame effort too close to Raya.
KICK-OFF! West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:36 , Chris WilsonBack underway in the capital!
Arsenal have indeed made a change, with Cristhian Mosquera on for Calafiori.
A huge 45 minutes coming up!
HALF-TIME! West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:35 , Chris WilsonBoth sides are back out at the London Stadium, so we’ll be getting started shortly.
HALF-TIME! West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:31 , Chris WilsonA vital 45 minutes to come in the context of both of these teams’ seasons, and indeed for several other sides in the Premier League.
A reminder that Arsenal sit three points ahead of Man City as it stands, though Guardiola’s side have a game in hand.
At the bottom, West Ham are currently level on points with Tottenham, but with a goal difference of -19 to Spurs’ -9.
Will Arteta change anything at half-time?
HALF-TIME! West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:27 , Chris Wilson
HALF-TIME! West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:22 , Chris WilsonThe referee brings the first half to an end and we’re level at the break at the London Stadium!
It’s not been a classic, and while the league leaders started well it’s become a little disjointed in attack, while the hosts have grown into the game and finished the first half as the better of the two sides.
All to play for in the next 45!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:21 , Chris WilsonInto the last of three minutes added on, and West Ham have a chance to put the ball in the Arsenal box after Castellanos wins a free-kick near halfway.
It’s a poor ball in though and that should be that.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:18 , Chris Wilson45 mins
SAVE! A great save from Raya to keep it level!
Wan-Bissaka beats Calafiori to the loose ball in his own half and exchanges passes with Bowen before driving towards the Arsenal box.
The right-back puts in a superb early cross and Castellanos produces a brilliant flying header that forces Raya into a sprawling low save.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:16 , Chris Wilson42 mins
Very stop-start at the moment too, with a few heavy challenges flying in. The latest comes from Soucek on Lewis-Skelly.
Nine shots in the first 22 mins for Arsenal, but only one since. That tells the story of how the half has evolved.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:14 , Chris Wilson40 mins
Another worry for Arsenal as Disasi flies in on Gyokeres and the Sweden international needs a moment to recover. He’s okay to carry on though.
There’s been a lull in activity over the last few minutes as we creep towards half-time.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:10 , Chris Wilson37 mins
Another promising opening for the hosts but Summerville is inches away from latching on to Bowen’s clever flick.
Instead, the winger flies in late and is booked for a hefty challenge.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:09 , Chris Wilson35 mins
Eze went for the shot in the end but it was the wrong decision.
At the other end, West Ham have a brief opening as Summerville makes up plenty of ground before curling an effort harmlessly wide of the far post.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:07 , Chris Wilson33 mins
Arsenal are looking to take away West Ham’s momentum and they’ve done it well so far.
Zubimendi now does well to win a free-kick in a dangerous area, with the Spaniard being barged down by Taty Castellanos in a central zone around 30 yards out.
The Hammers man is booked for the clumsy challenge, and Eze and Rice are lining this up...
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:03 , Chris Wilson30 mins
A lovely touch from Summerville to release Diouf down the left, but the full-back’s cross-field pass to Wan-Bissaka is a poor one.
The hosts have just begun to fight their way back into it since that stoppage for the White injury.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:01 , Chris Wilson28 mins
Now this is interesting. White has come off for Martin Zubimendi, with Rice moving to right-back for now!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
17:00 , Chris Wilson26 mins
White is indeed forced off but the substitution hasn’t been made yet.
The Hammers look to make use of their brief one-man advantage as they go fairly close, with the cross in taking a deflection that almost takes it right into the path of Diouf, who was unmarked just a few yards out!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:57 , Chris Wilson24 mins
Now a worry for Arsenal as Ben White is down, with the right-back looking like he might have injured his knee in a challenge earlier.
He looks like he’s in a fair bit of pain.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:56 , Chris Wilson23 mins
West Ham haven’t been able to build any momentum so far but they have the home crowd on their feet for the first time as Summerville beats a man to launch a counter, though the pass from Bowen ends up being intercepted by Trossard.
Will that be enough to lift the hosts?
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:55 , Chris Wilson22 mins
OFF THE LINE!
Trossard does well to win a free-kick on the left wing, and Arsenal will have their first dangerous free-kick.
Rice swings in a great delivery and Calafiori glances it on at the near post. It looks bound for the far corner but Diouf does superbly to dive in and stop it going in!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:51 , Chris Wilson18 mins
A nice exchange between Rice and Lewis-Skelly gets the latter into the area, but Fernandes does very well to get his body between the opponent and the ball to win a goal kick.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:49 , Chris Wilson16 mins
Arsenal have continued their dominance in possession but the Hammers are holding firm so far, with the hosts happy to put men behind the ball when needed.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:46 , Chris Wilson12 mins
Arsenal are beginning to turn the screw now, and Calafiori has another chance as he drives an effort from outside of the box that flies narrowly wide of the near post.
Arsenal’s seventh attempt of the game so far!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:43 , Chris Wilson10 mins
OFF THE BAR! Arsenal go close twice in a matter of seconds!
The corner is swung in and Trossard is there at the back post to head it towards goal, though Hermansen does brilliantly to claw it away.
He can only direct the ball straight back towards Trossard though, and the Belgian heads in a rebound that comes back off the bar from a few yards out!
A huge save from Hermansen before Trossard hits the post!

West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:42 , Chris Wilson8 mins
The game has settled into the sort of rhythm you’d expect now, and Arsenal have their first chance!
Trossard produces a lovely through ball on the wing and finds the overlapping Calafiori, who has broken into the box. He doesn’t want to take it on his right foot though and he’s closed down as his shot is deflected over for a corner!
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:38 , Chris Wilson5 mins
Saka’s first real involvement is hitting a cross too close to Hermansen. The Gunners are beginning to gain control in possession now.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:36 , Chris Wilson3 mins
Arsenal’s first foray forward sees Gyokeres hold it up well before White clips a cross behind for a goal kick.
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal
16:35 , Chris Wilson2 mins
Some decent early possession for the hosts, though they haven’t managed t threaten as Calafiori wins a throw-in off Wan-Bissaka near the Arsenal box.

16:00 , Chris WilsonArsenal’s hopes of winning a first Premier League title in 22 years are now in their hands after Manchester City dropped points in an extraordinary collapse at Everton.
Mikel Arteta’s side are two points clear of City and it means the Gunners will lift the Premier League if they win their final three games against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace.

Nuno Espirito Santo explains the challenge of facing Arsenal
15:40 , Harry Latham-Coyle"It's difficult because they are very good,” the West Ham boss said on Friday of the visitors to the London Stadium this afternoon. “They are a very talented team that is fighting for huge things and achieving huge moments.

"They are a tough opponent, but we are at London Stadium and that always gives us a plus of energy and especially for us, we have to give our all.
"There is no hiding. We have to be there."

Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal pair may not play again this season in injury blow
West Ham v Arsenal: Bukayo Saka's favourite opponent
14:55 , Jamie BraidwoodBukayo Saka has been involved in more Premier League goals against West Ham than any other opponent, with five goals and four assists coming in his last eight appearances against them.
West Ham v Arsenal: Will set-pieces make the difference?
14:38 , Jamie BraidwoodArsenal have scored 27 goals from set-pieces, the most in the Premier League this season, as well as 17 from corners.
Meanwhile, West Ham have conceded the second-most goals from set-pieces this season, 23, as well as 15 from corners.
Pep Guardiola shouts ‘Come on you Irons’ as he urges West Ham to disrupt Arsenal’s Premier League title charge
14:20 , Jamie BraidwoodPep Guardiola shouted “Come on you Irons” as he urged West Ham to slow Arsenal’s title charge after Manchester City kept up the pressure with a 3-0 win over Brentford.
Following goals from Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland, and Omar Marmoush, Guardiola concluded his post-match press conference with a pointed message ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming game at the London Stadium.

Declan Rice returns to lead Arsenal's title challenge at West Ham
14:02 , Jamie Braidwood“Dec’s been outstanding for us, he’s one of our leaders, one of the main players without a doubt. And what he’s doing for the club, for the team, is just very powerful,” Arteta said of his midfielder, whose £100m move from West Ham three years ago keeps on looking better and better for Arsenal.
Rice will make his 59th appearance of the season for club and country when he lines up against his former employers on Sunday, having finished runner-up to Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes for the recently announced Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award.
He scored a stunning strike in Arsenal’s 6-0 win at West Ham a couple of years ago.

Nuno Espirito Santo: 'Difficult to play Arsenal because they are very good'
13:45 , Jamie Braidwood“They are a very talented team that is fighting for huge things and achieving huge moments. They have reached the final of the Champions League and are fighting for the Premier League title.
They are a tough opponent, but we are at London Stadium and that always gives us a plus of energy and especially for us, we have to give our all. There is no hiding. Being at home is good for us.
“Especially recently, our fans are giving us extra, so they’ve been really helpful. It’s always nervy in these final games of the season. There’s always anxiety in the games so it is up to us to control our nerves and deliver what we want.”
West Ham's home form vs Arsenal's recent record at London Stadium
13:28 , Jamie BraidwoodWest Ham are currently enjoying their longest Premier League unbeaten run at the London Stadium. They are unbeaten in six, winning three and drawing there, and last had a longe run in their final season at Upton Park.
Arsenal, though, have won handsomely on their last two visits to the London Stadium. A 6-0 thrashing in 2023/24 was followed by a 5-2 win last season.
'West Ham need to go for it against Arsenal'
13:10 , Miguel Delaney, Chief Football WriterIn normal circumstances, you would think that West Ham’s best possibility of a result would be to sit tight and frustrate Arsenal. It’s worked well for Nuno so many times this season. It’s been proven to work well in some key games against Arsenal.
And that would be fine if West Ham had enough fixtures left for a point to feel really valuable. But they don’t. They need wins, especially when faced with a resurgent Spurs. At some point, West Ham have to go for it.
And that’s against an Arsenal who look more willing to go for it than at any point over the past four months. How couldn’t they when you consider the boosts that Arteta’s side have enjoyed over the past week alone?
Bukayo Saka can propel Arsenal to Premier League title with his ‘aura’, says Mikel Arteta
12:52 , Jamie BraidwoodMikel Arteta believes Bukayo Saka’s “aura” can propel Arsenal to Premier League glory with his side just three matches away from a first title in 22 years.
“Obviously his role has grown around the club, around the team and on the pitch towards the opponent as well,” Arteta said after Saka inspired Arsenal to wins over Fulham and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-final second leg.
“You sense that. He has got a presence now, he has got an aura. He has got something special.
“He is a different player, he is a player that can change a game at any moment. And creating that fear in the opponent is something important.
“It’s been a joy. We know him on a human level. And on the football level, what he has provided to this club, and what he did the other night (against Atleti) was just remarkable.”
Nuno Espirito Santo not thinking about next season
12:35 , Andy SimsNuno Espirito Santo insists he has given no thought to his future at West Ham whether they are relegated or not.
The West Ham board are understood to want Nuno, who signed a three-year deal when he was appointed in September, to stay on as head coach even if they do go down to the Championship.
“I’m going to be honest with you – I don’t have one second to think about next season,” said Portuguese coach Nuno.
“It’s so demanding what we have, the challenge, especially the game on Sunday, that’s what we have to focus on.
“I don’t have enough energy to think about what’s ahead. It’s tomorrow, then tomorrow, day-by-day.
“All the club, all the staff, the board, the players, the fans, we have our mission. It’s about Sunday and we just focus on Sunday.”
Why West Ham vs Arsenal could be the most decisive game in Premier League history
12:18 , Miguel Delaney, Chief Football WriterArsenal’s visit to West Ham on Sunday has the potential to be the most decisive Premier League game of the season, and maybe in the competition’s history, given the potential direct consequences. It could go some way to deciding the title, but also the final relegation spot.
Consider the cascading stakes. If Arsenal win, they will be able to see the trophy. It would leave fixtures against a relegated Burnley and a Crystal Palace preparing for a Europa Conference final three days later. There’s also the possibility of City being affected by a sense of the title drifting away.
On the other side, a West Ham defeat would mathematically secure Leeds United’s survival, the day before Daniel Farke’s side travel to Tottenham Hotspur. It’s impossible not to think Leeds’s intensity would be affected, and Spurs could secure another crucial win. That could be fatal for West Ham. It only ratchets up that pressure.
Why West Ham vs Arsenal could be the most decisive game in Premier League history
And what about Tottenham? How Arsenal can boost their north London rivals
12:00 , Jamie BraidwoodIf Arsenal can do Tottenham a favour and beat West Ham, Spurs would go into Monday night’s game against Leeds with the chance to move themselves four points clear of the bottom three with two games to go, and with a much healthier goal difference.
Tottenham would then require just one win from their final two games, or even two draws, to get over the line. Spurs go to Chelsea on 17 May before finishing their season at home to Everton.
When could Arsenal win the Premier League?
11:42 , Jamie BraidwoodIt’s advantage Arsenal in the title race. If Arsenal beat West Ham on Sunday and Manchester City fail to beat Crystal Palace at home, it would mean the Gunners would be able to lift the title at the Emirates with a victory over relegated Burnley in their final home game of the season.
This looks to be Arsenal’s trickiest game by far, as the Hammers are battling for survival. After that, the Gunners will play relegated Burnley and finish their season at a Palace team who will be preparing for a European final a few days later.
Remaining fixtures:
- Sunday 10 May: West Ham (a)
- Monday 18 May: Burnley (h)
- Sunday 24 May: Crystal Palace (a)
- Saturday 30 May: PSG (Champions League final)
West Ham back in bottom three after 3-0 defeat at Brentford
11:35 , Jamie BraidwoodA heavy defeat to Brentford may not have been totally deserved for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, yet is nonetheless ill-timed and highly-damaging. Now the visit of title-chasing Arsenal is unwelcome, too.
But if West Ham can get something from the Arsenal game then a trip against Newcastle and a home clash with Leeds to finish the season might just be the ticket to get them clear of the drop zone.
Remaining fixtures:
- 9 May - Arsenal (H)
- 17 May - Newcastle (A)
- 24 May - Leeds (H)
What is the Arsenal team news?
11:32 , Jamie BraidwoodArsenal remain without Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino. Mikel Arteta even admitted the pair may not return before the end of the season as they struggle to recover from ankle and foot injuries respectively.
Possible line-up XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Saka, Eze, Trossard, Gyokeres
What is the West Ham team news?
11:31 , Jamie BraidwoodThe Hammers are a point shy of safety and opened the door to Tottenham with a 3-0 defeat to Brentford last time out, with Spurs duly obliging by beating Aston Villa, leaving Nuno Espirito Santo’s men running out of time.
But Nuno can call on a full-strength team, with keeper Lukasz Fabianski the only absence with a lower back injury.
Possible line-up: Hermansen, Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf, Bowen, Fernandes, Soucek, Summerville, Wilson, Castellanos
Good morning
11:30 , Jamie BraidwoodIt’s rare for Premier League game to feel so consequential at both top and bottom, but here we are: it’s West Ham v Arsenal in a massive clash for the relegation fight and the title race. We’ll have all the build-up between now and 4:30pm.
