After a small forced break I am back at the desk with what looks like a safe pick.

A number of arguments for both sides blend into a good looking bet.

This game for West Ham is sandwiched by the Europa League semi finals tie against Eintracht Frankfurt, which the London team is about to lose after failing to get a good result in the first leg in England.

Qualification to the Champions League through the league is no longer a possibility as it would take a miracle for West Ham to catch up and surpass Tottenham and Arsenal. Especially with the inconsistent results the Hammers are showing these weeks - the last win in the Premier League dates back to April 3rd (vs. relegation bound Everton). Since then West Ham has definitely been struggling with the intensity of their schedule, which is a traditional issue for any team that goes so far in the European campaign.

Arsenal has a clear advantage over their London derby rivals due to competing just in one tournament. After a short-term drop in form, they’ve picked it up in style by beating Chelsea (4-2) and Manchester United (3-1). This has helped Arteta’s men maintain a marginal advantage over Tottenham in the race to finish 4th. Manchester United is no longer in contention.

No great squad issues for either of the teams.

I expect Arsenal to get a win here, taking advantage of the tired, demotivated opponent, who is bound to do rotation and thus prepare for the 2nd leg fixture vs. Eintracht on Thursday.

在短暂的休息之后，我们继续。

双方的许多论点融合在一起，形成了一个好看的赌注。

西汉姆联队的这场比赛是在欧罗巴联赛半决赛对阵法兰克福队的比赛中进行的，伦敦队在英格兰的首回合比赛中没有取得好成绩，即将输掉这场比赛。

通过联赛晋级欧冠已经不可能了，如果西汉姆能赶上并超越热刺和阿森纳，那将是个奇迹。特别是在这几周的不稳定的结果下，铁锤的最后一场胜利要追溯到4月3日(对阵降级的埃弗顿)。从那以后，西汉姆无疑一直在与紧张的赛程作斗争，这对任何一支在欧洲赛场上走得这么远的球队来说都是一个传统问题。

阿森纳对他们的伦敦德比对手有明显的优势，因为他们只参加了一场比赛。在经历了一段短暂的低迷之后，他们以4-2的比分击败了切尔西和3-1的比分战胜了曼联。这帮助阿尔特塔的球队在与托特纳姆的比赛中保持了微弱的优势，获得了第四名。曼联不再是竞争对手。

两支球队都没有伟大的阵容问题。

我希望阿森纳能在这里取得一场胜利，充分利用疲惫、缺乏动力的对手，他注定要进行轮换，从而为周四第二回合对阵埃特赫特的比赛做准备。
