West Ham United v Arsenal live stream: How to watch the Premier League from anywhere in the world
Watch a West Ham United v Arsenal live stream as Mikel Arteta's seek another big win
West Ham United v Arsenal live stream, Sunday 1 May, 4.30pm BST
Arsenal will be looking to boost their top-four bid by beating West Ham on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners could be outside the Champions League qualification spots by the time this match kicks off. Tottenham host Leicester at 2pm on Sunday, and Brendan Rodgers may well make wholesale changes to his team with an eye on Thursday's Europa Conference League semi-final second leg against Roma.
Going into the weekend, Arsenal have a two-point lead over their north London neighbours. Manchester United's faltering form means this is now a two-horse race for fourth place, and all eyes are on a head-to-head meeting between Spurs and Arsenal on May 12.
However, that match might not necessarily determine which of the two clubs from the capital qualifies for the Champions League. Arsenal will certainly be keen to maintain or extend their two-point advantage in the run-up to that contest, and they will hope West Ham are distracted by their upcoming Europa League game against Eintracht Frankfurt.
David Moyes' men lost the first leg of their semi-final at the London Stadium, but a 2-1 defeat means the tie is very much alive. The West Ham boss rotated his team for the trip to Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend, and we can again expect the likes of Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio to be held back for Thursday's trip to Germany.
On the injury front, Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna are both still on the treatment table, while Craig Dawson is suspended - leaving West Ham short in the centre-back department.
Arsenal will have to make do without Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey, while Bukayo Saka will need to be assessed in the run-up to kick-off. Eddie Nketiah will continue up top instead of Alex Lacazette, while Mohamed Elneny will look to maintain his fine recent form in the centre of the park.
Kick-off is at 4.30pm BST on Sunday 1 May. UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
NordVPN with quality mobile and desktop apps
A cheaper option and almost ExpressVPN's equal when it comes to quality, too. A single subscription covers six connections, so you can use it on mobile, laptop, streaming devices and more, all at the same time.
Surfshark offers a great VPN at a fraction of the price
It's clear to see why Surfshark is top of TechRadar's best cheap VPN table – it combines an excellent product with bargain pricing, starting at £2/$2.50 a month!
