United States West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates after Tottenham go fourth
Arteta expects “twists and turns” in race for top four
Follow for live updates as Arsenal look to take a huge step towards securing a top-four place and Champions League qualification as they visit West Ham at the London Stadium. The Gunners have moved back into pole position for fourth spot following crucial victories against Chelsea and Manchester United, while rivals Tottenham slipped up by dropping points against Brighton and Brentford.
West Ham are also aiming to qualify for the Champions League, but their hopes have turned to their own European run. David Moyes’ side were left with work to do after losing the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in midweek, and will travel to Germany on Thursday looking to turn the tie around.
The Hammers have not beaten Arsenal in three years but a victory for the hosts would see them move above Manchester United in the fight for sixth. There are set to be plenty more twists and turns to come in the top-four race, with Arsenal’s trip to Tottenham looming on 12 May, and Antonio Conte’s side have put the pressure back on the Gunners after beating Leicester 3-1 earlier this afternoon.
Follow live updates from West Ham vs Arsenal below, following the conclusion of Chelsea’s trip to Everton.
- Tottenham beat Leicester to move into top four
- Chelsea slip up again as Everton claim vital win
- West Ham XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Cresswell, Fredericks; Rice, Noble; Lanzini, Fornals, Benrahma; Bowen
- Arsenal XI: Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Holding, Tavares; Elneny, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
30 mins: Martinelli stands up Coufal and then plays a one-two with Odegaard which the West Ham defender has to put behind for a corner as the Brazilian came steaming into the area.
The corner is swung in under the crossbar but Fabianski does well to gather again.

28 mins: Handball appeal from the West Ham supporters as a Zouma header cannons off Holding in the area but the VAR check takes a matter of seconds. No handball.
West Ham then work it out to Coufal. His delivery is a good one but as it falls to Fornals he sends a half volley well over the bar.

26 mins: Fredericks brings Saka down just inside the West Ham half. Very little rhythm to this game as we approach the half hour mark.

24 mins: Arsenal are fighting for the top four, aren’t they? You’d be forgiven for thinking both these sides had little to play for.
Tavares sends a cross into the box but Zouma comfortably deals with it ahead of Nketiah.

22 mins: Patient build-up play from West Ham before Benrahma beats Tomiyasu but can’t quite keep the ball in as it trickles over the byline.
West Ham win the ball back and Rice charges forward before trying to clip a ball over the top for Fornals but it’s straight out of play.

20 mins: Another Arsenal corner is sent in by Martinelli and Fabianski gets a strong punch to it while under pressure from a host of players. Mike Dean then blows for a foul on the keeper.
Definitely a flat atmosphere inside the London Stadium which hasn’t been helped by this lazy start to the game from both sides.

18 mins: Nketiah tries his luck from 25 yards out and it cannons off Cresswell for an Arsenal corner.
Odegaard swings the corner in and Zouma leaps highest to power a header away.

16 mins: Saka cuts inside and tries his luck from the edge of the box but Cresswell gets in front of the effort to clear away.
West Ham come forward at the other end but Fornals’ low cross deflects off Tavares and ends up safely in the arms of Ramsdale.

14 mins: You won’t see a much more forgettable opening quarter of an hour than this. It’s been rather dull.
Elneny is stamped on by Zouma and that’s a painful one for the Arsenal midfielder. Free-kick to the visitors on the halfway line.
Dylan Terry1 May 2022 16:45
12 mins: Its West Ham’s turn to play keep ball without real threatening the final third.
Not a great deal of tempo to this game so far. You’d probably have expected Arsenal to come out the traps a little faster.
