And as they take on the league leaders, Opta’s supercomputer predicts things aren’t going to change just yet.
Worryingly, the Hammers have lost their last two games against the Gunners at home by an aggregate score of 13-2.
However, they have caused problems for a title-chasing Arsenal before, having limited them to a 2-2 draw in 2023; However, Opta’s supercomputer can’t see that happening this time, according to westhamzone.com.
Naturally, given the difference between the pair, the Hammers come in as the underdogs.
However, seeing the numbers scored will make Nuno cringe as he heads into the final rounds of the season.

At the crucial stage of the season, West Ham are losing form, just when others around them are starting to improve.
With Leeds and Nottingham Forest pulling away since returning from the international break, the Hammers have been left struggling with Spurs, but even they have been able to turn things around under Roberto De Zerbi.
