After a rare stumble at Anfield last weekend, Arsenal’s Premier League title push continues with a trip to relegation battlers West Ham.
The Gunners’ seven-match winning league run came to an end as they sacrificed a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Liverpool in a thrilling contest that saw their lead over Manchester City cut to five points.
West Ham beat Fulham last time out to move up to 14th in the table, but they are still far from safe with only three points separating them from Nottingham Forest in the drop zone.
Arsenal won 3-1 in the first meeting of the season on Boxing Day, when goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah cancelled out an early Said Benrahma penalty.
Kick-off is at 2.00pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
