Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for West Ham United vs Arsenal
BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for the Premier League clash between West Ham United and Arsenal this weekend. The Hammers recently suffered a 1-0 league defeat at Manchester United, but they are still within three points of fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand.

‘I will give everything for this club’: 21-year-old star speaks on his Arsenal future
Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has said that he is determined to revive his career with the Gunners once he returns from the loan stint at Hertha Berlin. The Frenchman fell out-of-favour under manager Mikel Arteta after the project restart in July last year following a poor show of discipline at Brighton & Hove Albion. The midfielder grabbed Neal Maupay by the neck for a brief moment as he was displeased with the striker’s involvement in Bernd Leno’s knee injury.

Arsenal win North London derby despite Lamela stunner
Arsenal came from behind to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on Sunday. It was a quiet first 30 minutes, with Mikel Arteta’s side enjoying the bulk of the possession. Emile Smith Rowe hit a 25-yard cracker off the bar before teeing up Alexandre Lacazette, who sliced wide. By contrast, Spurs offered very little going forward and lost forward Heung-min Son to an injury early on. However, the visitors took the lead against the run of play with a moment of pure magic. Lucas Moura teed up substitute Erik Lamela, who pulled out a rabona into the far corner. Arsenal continued to dominate the rest of the half, providing most of the threat down the left. They came close to equalising through full-back Cedric Soares, who crashed a shot off the post from Smith Rowe’s cutback. Just b...
