West Ham vs Arsenal Preview: Premier League Clash on May 10, 2026

West Ham host Arsenal at London Stadium, London, on 10 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 36. West Ham arrive in the relegation places, sitting 18th with 36 points and a goal difference of -19, while Arsenal top the table in 1st place on 76 points with a goal difference of 41.

West Ham & Arsenal Availability

West Ham have one confirmed absentee. L. Fabianski (Back Injury) is sidelined. With A. Areola, M. Hermansen and F. Herrick available, the goalkeeping department still has depth. Crucially, creative leader J. Bowen, who has 8 goals and 10 assists, is fully available and expected to carry much of West Ham’s attacking threat.

Arsenal face more disruption. M. Merino (Foot Injury) is sidelined, removing a midfield option with experience on the ball. J. Timber (Ankle Injury) is doubtful, and his absence would be a major blow given his 3 goals and 5 assists from defence, plus strong defensive numbers. Top scorer V. Gyökeres, with 14 league goals and 1 assist, is available and central to Arsenal’s attacking plans.

No suspensions are reported for either side, with no players listed out due to yellow cards or red cards.

Impact Summary

West Ham’s main creative and scoring output through J. Bowen remains intact, while Arsenal risk losing significant build-up and defensive contribution if J. Timber does not feature. However, Arsenal’s primary goal threat in V. Gyökeres is unaffected, preserving much of their attacking firepower.
