Football pundit, match co-commentator and former Chelsea striker, Chris Sutton has predicted the possible winner of Sunday’s match between Premier League leaders, Arsenal and West Ham United at the London Stadium.
Arsenal face David Moyes’ side in a huge London derby that has ramifications for both clubs, leaving them desperate for a win.
Speaking about the game on BBC, Chris Sutton said the Gunners will have a difficult match but will eventually trump the Hammers.

He also pointed out that West Ham have picked up good points recently, but added that Arsenal, who have had good results against all the London clubs this term, would be too good for them.
He said; “The way the leaders react is going to be fascinating. The wheels could have come off when they lost to Manchester City in February but they responded with seven successive wins.
“Nothing less than a win will do for them here either, and I think they will get it.
“West Ham got a really vital victory over Fulham last week and they are still desperate for points so they will give everything here – but Arsenal should be too good for them.
“Prediction: 0-2”
A win for Mikel Arteta’s men will take them to 76 points from thirty-one games and leave them at least 6 points above their nearest challenger and league champions, Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
West Ham, on the other hand, will go to 33 points if they can win the encounter and may open a 6-point gap between them and other PL teams in the relegation dogfight.
