Arsenal faces West Ham United in the Premier League on the back of an impressive Champions League victory against Sporting CP.

Harry Redknapp is predicting a close battle when West Ham entertain Arsenal in Saturday’s Premier League London derby at the London Stadium. The Hammers have endured a difficult start to life under new manager Julen Lopetegui but Monday night’s surprise win at Newcastle could kickstart their campaign.

Arsenal's margin for error is ever so small if they want to get themselves back into the Premier League title race and only a win will do at West Ham United on Saturday. The Gunners' two performances and results after the November international break have facilitated the resurgence of optimism among the fanbase after a tough start to the new season.
