View West Ham United v Arsenal head to head

Kick-off: 5.30pm Following a plane crash on Monday 28 November in Colombia that killed 71, a minute's silence was held before every football match this weekend. Football's world governing body FIFA also requested that all players wear black armbands in remembrance. Nineteen of the dead were members of the Chapecoense Football Club from Brazil on their way to play the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final in Medelin, Colombia. After their first-ever visit to the London Stadium, Arsenal were now unbeaten in their last nine Premier League visits to West Ham United (won seven).

Comments:

League position: 17th West Ham United were now without a win in their last five Premier League Games (lost three). The Hammers conceded five goals in a home game in the Premier League for the third time (also 1-5 versus Leeds United on 1 May 1999 and 3-5 versus Manchester United on 16 March 2002). They had now failed to score in only two of their last 27 Premier League games. Alvaro Arbeloa was booked in the third minute of added time in the second-half.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Arsenal were now unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League games (won nine). Alexis Sanchez's hat-trick was the Gunners' 38th in the Premier League and, in 14 minutes, their third quickest. Arsenal scored five goals in a Premier League game for the first time since their 5-2 win at Leicester City on 26 September 2015 when Alexis Sanchez also scored a hat-trick.
