Arsenal have roared back to life since returning from the international break and will be looking to get back in the hunt for the Premier League title by winning this London derby with West Ham United.
The Gunners went into the break on a downer, with a run of just one win in five games in all competitions threatening to undo their good work at the start of the campaign.
But the return of skipper Martin Odegaard from injury has helped Mikel Arteta's side hit top gear again, with a 3-0 league win over Nottingham Forest followed by a 5-1 Champions League spanking of Sporting Lisbon that bust the coupon of our man Slips Tips.
The Gunners remain nine points behind leaders Liverpool but have a chance to pile on the pressure ahead of the Anfield giants hosting champions Manchester City on Sunday.
However, West Ham United are finally showing signs of life under Julen Lopetegui, with an excellent 2-o win at Newcastle on Monday night moving them six points clear of the drop zone.
The in-form Magpies were one of our Super Singles on Monday but West Ham were good value for their win and if Lopetegui can follow it up with another three points against Arsenal it will silence his critics.
How the bookies view it: Gunners are hot shots
With Arsenal looking back to their best, Betano make them hot favourites for this one at just 2/5. West Ham look a bit overpriced at 6/1 with home advantage while the draw pays 18/5.
Recent head to head: Arsenal bossing this derby
Arsenal romped to a 6-0 win on their last visit to the London Stadium and have helped the upper hand in recent years. In the last 11 meetings we've seen seven Gunners wins and just two West Ham victories, with the other two games ending level.
Players to watch: Odegaard pulling the strings
It's no coincidence that Arsenal's return to form has coincided with their captain coming back into the side. Odegaard is the man who makes them tick and he's 11/4 with Betano for anytime scorer here. An assist is more likely though and that pays a tempting 3/1 with William Hill.
Jarrod Bowen always looks the most lively of the West Ham forwards and he has chipped in with four goals already this season. The England international is 21/10 at Bet365 to either score or assist and that looks decent value.
Probable line-ups
West Ham's injury issues are clearing up, with only summer signing Niclas Fullkrug still not fit to return. Winger Mohamed Kudus serves the final game of his lengthy ban.
Arsenal are sweating on the fitness of Gabriel after he went off late on in the win over Sporting. Fellow defenders Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney remain sidelined.
West Ham United: Fabianski, Mavropanos, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka, Emerson, Soler, Summerville, Paqueta, Bowen, Soucek, Antonio.
Arsenal: Raya, Saliba, Kiwior, Timber, Calafiori, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Havertz.
Anything else catch the eye?
BTTS has failed to land in the last three games for West Ham so it could pay to bet against it here at 10/11 with Betano. With West Ham improving, the Gunners may have to show a bit of patience to break them down so I also fancy most goals to come after the break at 21/20 with Betfred.
The last seven West Ham games have hit double figures for corners while the Gunners have also been winning their fair share of flag kicks this season. That makes over 10.5 corners worth a punt at 20/23 with Betano while over 4.5 West Ham flag kicks looks good at 33/20 with Unibet.
Crysencio Summerville should start on the wing for the Hammers with Kudus still banned and the former Leeds star is 6/4 with Bet365 just to have a shot on target.
