Arsenal Eye First Win In Nine Matches Against West Ham

By Daily Sports on December 9, 2019

Arsenal's search for an overdue win takes them to the London Stadium next as they face West Ham United looking to end their worst run of form for 42 years.

The Gunners are now nine games without a victory across all competitions following Thursday night's home defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion, but take on a West Ham side with only one win in 10 themselves.

Managerless, on their worst winless run since 1977 and with speculation growing around their captain and best player - Arsenal come into this London derby in full crisis mode.

Thursday's abject home defeat at the hands of Brighton saw a disastrous 2019-20 campaign plunge to new depths as interim boss Freddie Ljungberg's first home game in charge ended in despair.

The Swede has now picked up only one point from his two games at the helm when Arsenal would ordinarily expect a maximum return against Norwich City and Brighton, leaving both him and the club in desperate need of victory against another of his former employers.

Ljungberg made 26 appearances during his solitary season with West Ham, but there is no doubt that his English allegiances lie with Arsenal and any hopes he had of landing the job on a permanent basis have not been helped by the two performances and results so far.

Recent reports suggest that Arsenal have been forced to step up their search for a permanent successor to Unai Emery as a result of such a poor start under Ljungberg, and with each passing week the scale of the job seems to get bigger and bigger.

Certainly, the picture does not look pleasant for the Gunners; they are 10 points adrift of the Champions League places - a gap which could have grown to 13 by the time they kick off against West Ham – and have not won a game in any competition since their unconvincing 3-2 triumph over Vitoria Guimaraes in the Europa League on October 24.

The wait for a Premier League victory stretches back to October 6 and they have only won two of their last 13 outings in the top flight. Over the course of the whole season so far, only the bottom two have won fewer games than Arsenal's tally of four. (Sports Mole)
