West Ham United have been able to pick up numerous results against Arsenal over the last few years.

Sunday sees West Ham take on the challenge of Arsenal, as Mikel Arteta’s title-chasers come to the London Stadium.

Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side enter the game off the back of a disappointing 3-0 loss to Brentford last time out, which snapped a three-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

The Hammers now need to find their form again, as time is running out on their chances of retaining their top flight statues.

So, West Ham’s clash with Arsenal will see Nuno’s men as the overwhelming underdogs to take victory, but that may not be as far-fetched a possibility as many might believe.

What is West Ham’s recent Premier League record vs Arsenal?

There is no time for a free hit anymore; West Ham need points and they need them fast.

As such, despite it being a big ask for Nuno’s side to beat the Gunners, the fact that they’ll only have six more points to play for afterwards means it’s not a fixture they can simply put a line through.

Arsenal beat West Ham 2-0 in the reverse fixture back on 4 October 2025, but the history books show that the Hammers have actually found solid levels of success against their London rivals over recent years.

Indeed, over the last six Premier League meetings between the two, West Ham have avoided defeat on three occasions, winning twice and drawing once.

A 50 per cent result rate over the last six games is a very decent return for the Hammers, and that may not be the only thing going for them when it comes to picking up another one this Sunday.

West Ham must be ready to pounce on Arsenal hangover

Arsenal are on a high at the moment, sitting top of the Premier League and having just booked their place in the Champions League final.

It’s that semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid that could work in West Ham’s favour though this weekend.

Indeed, there is a chance that Arsenal could suffer somewhat of a Champions League hangover at the London Stadium, as Arteta’s side revel in their continental achievement.

Whilst unlikely, if that is to be the case, West Ham must be ready to take full advantage of a sloppy Gunners showing, as any kind of result against them would fill Nuno’s men with confidence heading into the final two games.
