All eyes will be on league leaders Arsenal as the Premier League makes its eagerly anticipated return after the World Cup break.
Arsenal suffered a major injury blow when their star player Gabriel Jesus was ruled out for three to four months after suffering a knee injury against Cameroon in Qatar and the player will miss out on the Gunners’ next matches.
Fans are eager to watch how Eddie Nketiah, who recently took over the historic number 14 Jersey, will do in the mouthwatering London Derby as Mikel Arteta’s team gets ready to face West Ham on Boxing Day at the Emirates.
For Nketiah, who has been forced to finish games from the bench or enter as a replacement in the closing minutes of most games, the injury may be seen as a gift in disguise.
However, some Arsenal fans believe that Arteta should use the winter transfer window to bring in reinforcements upfront and in the midfield if they are to stand a chance of winning the trophy they haven’t won in the past 18 years, especially with defending champions Manchester City on their tails.
The Gunners will head into their first Premier League match after the break with an exceptional record against the Hammers at home, the visitors have lost 11 of their last 12 Premier League away games against Arsenal, their only victory was a 2-0 win on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 campaign.
A victory for the Gunners seems imminent but a double chance might be the safest option for anyone betting.
