Arsenal's first match of the season, with great expectations of a high placing in the Premier League following a strong performance in other recent games. Their head-to-head history with West Ham over the last 7 years is remarkably one-sided, with Arsenal winning 13 out of 15 matches and drawing the other 2. With Petr Cech now signed up to the Gunners, it may also be worth noting West Ham failed to score in their last 5 matches with Chelsea. Some other stats shaping my thinking on this match: the last 7 meetings between Arsenal and West Ham have all gone over 2.5 goals, which could mean the trend is due to be bucked; Arsenal have played 15 consecutive matches without scoring exactly 2 goals in normal time; and 1-1 hasn't been a scoreline in this fixture for over 13 years. So my bet is going to be exact total goals 2.

And I'll also put a smaller bet on Arsenal 2-0 as that's my hunch for the result.

Arsenal has come of age and i expect the team to be very close to this season league tittle.Arsenal preseason wasn't a bad o e either.Westham on the other hand is struggling with bad defense and below average performance.Westham both home and away shows the team will not find EPL rossy this season.My prediction is that Arsenal win with at least two goals.If i should pick a direct score,i will go for a 4-0 scoreline.

With Petr Cech in the team, Arsenal are playing with confidence. I won't be surprise if they finish within the top 3 Premier League table this season.

Half-time and West Ham lead 0-1. Now hoping the Hammers will be as focused on taking at least a point from this match as they were in the first half (expecting one more goal).

57th minute and that's the two goals, amazing West Ham scored both. Will be more amazed if the score stays the same for another half hour but that's my hope.

Well I'm quite pleased with that result :) This is the reason I prefer to predict goals rather than teams, because even I can be seduced by the favourites but with goals if the underdog pulls off a surprise it works in my favour all the same. Btw it had been 15 Arsenal matches since either side scored exactly 2 goals in normal time, not just Arsenal themselves.
