The latest arsenal news is, Mark Lawrenson predicts Arsenal will begin its winning streak with a 2-1 victory over West Ham United in Saturday night's London derby at The Emirates.

When the Hammers make the short trip across the English capital, the Gunners will be looking to log consecutive Premier League victories against the London opposition.

Thanks to goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Gabriel Magalhaes and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal were 3-0 winners against Fulham at Craven Cottage last weekend.

Thanks to their resounding victory over Fulham ahead of Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC, Mikel Arteta's side are sitting at the top of the Premier League table.

West Ham, meanwhile, slumped last weekend at London Stadium to a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in their Premier League opener to make the new season a poor start.

In the summer transfer window of 2020, the Hammers did not make substantial investments in their squad to raise concerns regarding their ability to stay in the Premier League.
