Julen Lopetegui during West Ham's win against Newcastle United at St James' Park
Arsenal have found their spark again post-international break, setting their sights on reigniting their Premier League title aspirations with a victory against West Ham United in this London derby.
Prior to the break, the Gunners were struggling, having secured just one win in five matches across all competitions, which threatened to unravel their promising start to the season. However, they still go into this match as the favourites at 4/9 with CopyBet while West Ham are 11/2 to produce another shock result this week and a draw is 7/2.
The return of captain Martin Odegaard from injury has revitalised Mikel Arteta's squad. They showcased their renewed vigour with a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the league, followed by an emphatic 5-1 triumph over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.
Although Arsenal currently trail Liverpool by nine points, they have the opportunity to increase the pressure on the Merseyside leaders before Liverpool face off against defending champions Manchester City on Sunday.
Meanwhile, West Ham United are beginning to show resilience under Julen Lopetegui. A commendable 2-0 win at Newcastle on Monday night has lifted them six points above the relegation zone.
The Magpies appeared poised for another victory, but West Ham's performance was deserving of the win. If Lopetegui's side can secure another three points against Arsenal, it would serve as a strong rebuttal to his critics.
