No room for sentiment as Rice targets Arsenal win at West Ham
Arsenal can move five points clear with a win as West Ham fight relegation and have not beaten the Gunners at home since 2019.
On Sunday, May 10, 2026, Premier League leaders Arsenal visit West Ham United at London Stadium, seeking a victory that would all but secure their first English title in 22 years.
Arsenal currently hold a five-point lead over title rivals Manchester City, while the struggling Hammers occupy the final relegation spot fighting to extend a 14-season top-flight stay.
Returning to his former club, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice said, 'They gave me a chance when Chelsea didn't and a lot of people there really did push me on. Loads of good things about that club. It's not nice to see the position they're in.'
An Arsenal victory would pressure Manchester City following their recent 3-3 draw at Everton, while a West Ham defeat could leave them further adrift of 17th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Beyond Sunday's clash, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is managing a title run-in after his side secured a Champions League final spot against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
