Premier League football betting - Arsenal vs West Ham

Arsenal host West Ham tonight in the Premier League needing to win to keep the pressure on their rivals for the title. The Gunners are currently third in the table but are only two points off leaders Manchester United. Today`s Champions League draw pits them against Barcelona in the quarter finals and Arsene Wenger will be harbouring dreams of an historic double.

The home side go into the game as favourites at 2/9 (bet £90 to win £20 profit), leaving West Ham as underdogs at 14/1. Arsenal are the form side in the league, having won each of their last five games, and will take heart from the determination they showed in their last-gasp win at Hull last time out. West Ham will be desperate to turn their own form around as they have lost their last three matches. The draw is available at 11/2 with Victor Chandler.

The bookmakers seem to think a comfortable home win is on the cards tonight and have made a 2-0 win for Arsenal the favourite score at 11/2, with 3-0 and 1-0 both priced at 7/1. A 1-1 draw is available at 11/1, with 0-0 at 16/1 and a shock 1-0 win for West Ham at the Emirates Stadium is as long as 33/1.

Nicklas Bendtner and Andrei Arshavin have been made joint favourites to open the scoring tonight at 4/1, with captain and midfield general Cesc Fabregas at 9/2. Croatian striker Eduardo is available at 5/1 and England`s World Cup hopeful Theo Walcott is at 7/1. Another hopeful is Carlton Cole, who is West Ham`s best chance of scoring the game`s first goal at 12/1.

Arsenal are 8/13 to lead tonight at both half-time and full-time and 4/1 with Victor Chandler to win the match after drawing at half-time. The same firm offer 10/1 that both halves end in a draw and 33/1 that West Ham are winning at the interval and the final whistle. Draw/West Ham is generally available at the same price.

Arsene Wenger has always said that he believes his side could win the title and Arsenal are now third favourites to do just that at 11/4.
