West Ham vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips: Greek to freak out former employers in 11/2 shot

London Stadium hosts a huge game this Sunday (4.30pm BST, Sky Sports Main Event) as relegation-threatened West Ham United take on Premier League leaders Arsenal, who can take a giant step towards the title with a win in east London.

Below are my West Ham vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips, with four selections combining for an 11/2 payout.

Konstantinos Mavropanos (WHU) 1+ Shots

Former Arsenal defender Konstantinos Mavropanos has history in this fixture, opening the scoring for the Irons in a 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium in December 2023.

That was the Greece international's only goal of the 2023/24 campaign, and he went without one the following season before raising the levels this term, netting three times, with all three strikes coming this calendar year.

Mavropanos scored West Ham's equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at London Stadium in March and bagged a brace on home soil in a 4-0 thrashing of Leeds United in April.

The 28-year-old is averaging 0.8 shots per game in this season's Premier League and he's recorded at least one shot in six of his last eight competitions starts, registering nine attempts across those run of fixtures.

Arsenal pride themselves on being robust in both boxes, but they've conceded at least one shot to at least one opposition defender in their last six games across all competitions.

In their last Premier League away match, Man City centre-backs Marc Guehi and Abdukodir Khusanov both directed shots on target from corners, while Newcastle United duo Dan Burn and Sven Botman, playing at left-back and centre-back, respectively, recorded three shots and one, and three of those four efforts were headers (Burn directed one on target).

Kyle Walker-Peters (WHU) 3+ Tackles

West Ham right-back Kyle Walker-Peters is averaging two tackles per game in this season's Premier League, despite eight of his 22 appearances coming from the bench.

The 29-year-old has recorded 3+ tackles in six of his last nine league starts, and in October's reverse fixture with Arsenal, won 2-0 by the Gunners, the former Tottenham Hotspur man made two tackles, despite only coming on in the 79th minute.

West Ham vs Arsenal Odds

El Hadji Malick Diouf 2+ Fouls

On the other side of West Ham's defence is El Hadji Malick Diouf, who committed three fouls at the Emirates earlier in the season.

The 22-year-old, who is averaging 0.9 fouls per game in the English top flight, struggled to deal with the threat of Bukayo Saka in north London, with the Gunners star upended three times in total.

Expect Saka, or Noni Madueke, to pose the Senegal international plenty of problems down his left-hand side on Sunday.

Viktor Gyokeres (ARS) 1+ Fouls

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres committed one foul against West Ham in October, and he's recorded at least one in eight of his last 10 league starts.

Against a physical West Ham backline featuring Mavropanos and Axel Disasi, I'm expecting the Swede to be in his fair share of duels, and one foul looks highly achievable.
