Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 152
West Ham wins: 37
Draws: 41
Arsenal wins: 74

A London derby that first took place during the 1905-06 FA Cup first round - where Woolwich Arsenal triumphed in a replay - the Gunners and West Ham United have crossed paths on 152 occasions in a competitive setting.

It will come as no shock to learn that Arsenal have conquered their London rivals on the most occasions, prevailing in 74 contests while only suffering 37 losses, and 41 of the other battles between the two sides have ended honours even.

Arsenal's most recent victory in this capital head-to-head was an absorbing one, as they shared seven goals with the Irons in the first half of a 5-2 November 2024 success, one in which Mikel Arteta's men had five different scorers.

The 2023-24 campaign saw Arsenal and West Ham pitted together on three occasions, two of which saw the Irons come up trumps, a shock 2-0 Emirates win in late December a couple of months on from a 3-1 success in the EFL Cup.

However, Arteta's side bettered West Ham's tally in both of those games over the course of 90 minutes at the London Stadium in February 2024, decimating David Moyes's men 6-0 for their biggest Premier League away victory to date.

The Gunners have only been bested by the Hammers seven times in their 46 meetings since the turn of the millennium, although that run includes three straight losses to West Ham between February 2006 and November 2007, a sequence in which Bobby Zamora's strike subjected Arsenal to their first-ever competitive defeat at the Emirates.

West Ham's 37 Premier League losses to Arsenal is also the most that they have suffered against a single opponent in the competition, and no side has beaten the Irons away from home in the Premier League more often than the Gunners, who have done so on 16 occasions.

It was the Irons that came out on top in one of the most high-profile meetings between the two sides, though, edging out Arsenal 1-0 in the 1979-80 FA Cup final thanks to a Trevor Brooking goal; West Ham's success that year remains the most recent time that a non-top flight team has won the tournament.

Regarding individual players who thrived in this fixture, Ian Wright - who played for both clubs - scored seven times in matches between West Ham and Arsenal, as did former Gunners midfielder and England World Cup winner Alan Ball.
