Jarrod Bowen has once again been one of West Ham’s best players this season but the England international has committed his fair share of fouls. Only Lucas Paqueta and Edson Alvarez have committed more fouls than Bowen with the England man making 12 fouls in his 12 Premier League appearances this season.

Arsenal are likely to dominate possession and West Ham will have to defend from the front which suggests that Bowen, who is averaging 1.00 fouls per game this season, is more than likely to commit at least one foul.

Other than Bukayo Saka (14), nobody has had more shots on target in the Premier League for the Gunners this season than Kai Havertz.

The German international has taken 28 shots in his 11 Premier League starts, four of which have hit the back of the net. Havertz like to shoot whenever possible, as indicated by his 2.55 shots per game ratio, and the former Chelsea has a shot on target ratio of 35.7% which is only just behind his fellow joint-top scorer, Saka.

With Havertz likely to lead the line for the Gunners at the London Stadium this weekend, we’re confident that the makeshift striker will hit the target at least once on Saturday night.

We know that Arsenal like to dominate possession and tend to create plenty of goalscoring opportunities so with that in mind, we’re expecting the West Ham goalkeeper to be fairly busy this weekend.

Alphonse Areola has started eight games this season and 39-year-old Lukasz Fabianski has made five appearances, one of which was as a substitute for an injured Areola. The Frenchman has faced 32 shots on target and made 19 saves, which makes for a save percentage of 56.3, while his Polish counterpart has had 20 shots on target against him but has made 15 saves and boasts a save percentage of 75%.

Whoever plays on Saturday, we’re confident that they will be forced into making at least three saves.

As well as being a key player in and around the penalty area, scoring and creating goals, Bukayo Saka is also the Gunners’ most fouled player this season.

Saka has drawn 25 fouls in his 11 league games so far which makes for an average of 2.27 fouls won per game in the Premier League. We know how good Arsenal are from set pieces and Saka plays a major role in this process as he earns comfortably more free kicks than any of his team-mates. Thomas Partey is the closest in terms of fouls won with the Ghana midfielder winning 16 fouls, 9 less than Saka, so far this season.

There is a good chance that we will be treated to a goal-fest at the London Stadium this weekend as five of the last six meetings between these two clubs have produced over 2.5 goals. The last six times West Ham have hosted Arsenal at least three goals have been scored and last season, the Gunners ran out 6-0 winners in this very fixture.

To back up our tip even further, 83% of West Ham’s home games this season have produced over 2.5 goals, while 42% of Arsenal’s 12 matches have witnessed at least three goals. The Gunners have scored eight goals in their last two matches against Nottingham Forest and Sporting Lisbon, so you can see why we are hopeful of more goals on Saturday.

Jarrod Bowen is tied at the top of the list for most shots taken by a West Ham player so far this season. Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus has also hit 27 shots for the Hammers so far, but he will miss the Arsenal game through suspension.

That leaves Bowen as the home side’s main goal threat and considering that the England international has played in all 12 league games this season and is averaging 2.25 shots per game, it’s not a surprise that we have picked the winger to have at least two shots on Saturday against an Arsenal side that have not been at their best defensively of late, with just one clean sheet in their last five matches in all competitions.
