Current streaks

Recent form

Arsenal

Arsenal have been in scintillating form recently, winning five of their last six matches across all competitions. The Gunners are currently on a four-game winning streak, which includes an impressive 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City in the Premier League. This high-scoring encounter stands out as a particularly notable result, showcasing Arsenal's attacking prowess. Defensively, the team have been solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding an average of just 0.67 goals per game. Their current position of 2nd in the league table with 53 points from 25 games reflects their strong performances. Interestingly, Arsenal's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and the other half falling under that threshold.

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been concerning, with the Hammers struggling to find consistency in their performances. The team are currently on a three-match winless streak in the Premier League, having lost two and drawn one of their last three fixtures. Their defensive frailties are evident, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches across all competitions. Despite this, West Ham have shown some attacking prowess, with their 3-2 victory over Fulham being a particularly high-scoring affair. The Hammers' goal difference of -4 over their last six games highlights their difficulties in both attack and defence, with the team conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game whilst only scoring once per match themselves. Their current 16th position in the league table reflects their poor run of form, with West Ham finding themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Arsenal

Arsenal have shown impressive form at home, with a notable run of three consecutive unbeaten matches in their most recent fixtures. The Gunners have been particularly prolific in front of goal, averaging 2.17 goals per game in their last six outings. Their 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter, demonstrating Arsenal's ability to dominate even against top opposition. While their defensive record has been somewhat mixed, conceding in four of the six matches, they've managed to outscore their opponents in most cases. The team's overall goal involvement has been high, with 67% of matches seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals. Arsenal's home form has undoubtedly contributed to their strong league position, sitting second with 53 points from 25 games.

West Ham

West Ham's recent away form has been rather poor, with the Hammers struggling to find consistency on the road. They have managed just one win in their last six away matches, a 1-0 victory against Southampton. The team have been involved in a few high-scoring encounters, most notably a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City. West Ham have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six away games, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. Their goal-scoring record has also been underwhelming, netting just once in each of their last five away fixtures. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, suggesting that while West Ham are finding the net, they are also vulnerable defensively. The Hammers' away form has contributed to their current league position of 16th, indicating that improvements are needed if they are to climb the table.
