## Arsenal’s record against West Ham under Mikel Arteta

As things stand, the title race will not go down to goal difference if Arsenal win all their remaining league outings until the end of the season. Having dropped needless points since the turn of the year in particular, the North Londoners cannot afford to slip up yet again in their contest against the Irons.

Arsenal have faced West Ham 13 times since Mikel Arteta’s time in charge.
