Comments:

League position: 2nd Arsenal remained unbeaten in ten home games in the Premier League in 2020 (won seven). Alexandre Lacazette had now scored 50 goals for the Gunners in all competitions. They had now failed to score in three of their last 72 home games in the Premier League. Kieran Tierney was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering a hip injury in the pre-match warm-up. Sead Kolašinac was promoted to the starting XI with Joe Willock taking his place on the bench.

Comments:

League position: 18th West Ham United had now failed to win in their opening two games in each of the last four seasons in the Premier League. Michail Antonio became the first player to score in four consecutive away games in the Premier League for the Hammers since Fredi Kanoute in January 2001. They had now lost 200 of their 485 London derbies in the top division.
