Arsenal run riot at West Ham to close on Premier League leaders - live updates
Arteta believes West Ham will pose challenges.
Arsenal heads across the city to take on West Ham in the Premier League, as Mikel Arteta's team aims to maintain their pursuit of league leaders Liverpool.
The Gunners have secured convincing victories against Nottingham Forest and Sporting following the international break, placing them fifth in the standings, tied on points with Chelsea. However, Arteta has already addressed the team's pursuit of the title, emphasizing that they must perform almost perfectly to keep up with the leaders in the league.
This situation persists today as they face a West Ham team that has been having a tough time in the league. Julen Lopetegui's squad currently ranks 14th, even after their recent victory against Newcastle.

Arsenal Crushes West Ham 4-0!
GOLAZO! There was hardly a moment to respond, and Arsenal scores again, making it four!
It's quite straightforward as the ball comes to Trossard in his own defensive area. He skillfully plays a beautiful pass forward using the outside of his foot. Havertz is sprinting after it, and for a moment, it seems like he might miss out, but then the defender makes an odd choice to dive for the ball, causing him to tumble and unintentionally push it right into Havertz's way.
He races toward the goal and calmly tucks in a simple low shot for 4-0!
