How to watch today's Arsenal vs West Ham Premier League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Arsenal have the chance to narrow Liverpool's lead at the summit of the Premier League to just five points when they visit a struggling West Ham side on Saturday afternoon.

While the league-leading Reds have shown a few signs of fatigue, their hard-earned point at Aston Villa on Wednesday was far from catastrophic. However, that result has cracked open a window for Arsenal to apply some pressure before Liverpool's high-stakes showdown with Manchester City on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta's squad stretched their unbeaten run in the league to 15 matches following a 2-0 victory over Leicester City last weekend. Teen sensation Ethan Nwaneri provided a spark, while a late double from substitute Mikel Merino sealed the deal after a largely uninspiring performance from the Gunners.

The title contenders now face a West Ham team they thrashed 5-2 back in November when Julen Lopetegui was still at the helm. New boss Graham Potter has struggled to engineer a turnaround since taking over, with the Hammers slipping to 16th after a narrow 1-0 home defeat against Brentford last Saturday.

Arsenal team news

Injury woes continue for Arsenal, with Takehiro Tomiyasu joining Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus on the list of season-ending casualties following knee surgery. Both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are sidelined with hamstring injuries, though reports suggest they’re aiming for a return after the March international break. This leaves head coach Mikel Arteta with a key decision to make in attack.

Mikel Merino impressed after Raheem Sterling struggled against Leicester, forcing Arteta to consider whether to start the super-sub or keep him in reserve for a potential game-changing cameo.

West Ham team news

West Ham's injury list continues to grow, with Michail Antonio (leg), Crysencio Summerville (hamstring), Niclas Füllkrug (hamstring), Vladimir Coufal (hamstring), and Lucas Paquetá (ankle) all sidelined.

Their lacklustre first-half showing against Brentford prompted Potter to make three halftime changes, hauling off Emerson Palmieri, Carlos Soler, and Tomas Soucek. For the upcoming clash, James Ward-Prowse could be handed a start due to his dead-ball prowess, while Evan Ferguson, on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, might be given his full debut. However, Soler could find himself back in the lineup following Paqueta's injury setback.
