West Ham is currently on a four-game winless slide as the team dropped to the 16th spot of the English top flight table. They are only one point above the bottom three relegation zone and are tied on points with newly-promoted side Middlesbrough.
The Hammers are coming off a 1-1 draw with struggling powerhouse Manchester United on the road at the Old Trafford last Sunday, as per the Independent.
Senegalese striker Diafra Sakho netted the opening goal of the contest for head coach Slaven Bilić's side with a header in the second minute.
The Red Devils were able to level the count in the 21st also with a header by Swede striker Zlatan Ibrahimović off an assist by French midfielder Paul Pogba.
Meanwhile, Arsenal extended its unbeaten streak to 12 games with a 3-1 romp of middling club Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium also last Sunday, SkySports reported.
Alexis Sanchez was the man of the match for head coach Arsene Wenger's squad as he scored a brace to lead the Gunners.
The Chile international broke the deadlock in the 12th minute after capitalizing a defensive mistake by Bournemouth defender Steve Cook. The Cherries were then able to equalize in the 23rd with a penalty kick by forward Callum Wilson off a foul by Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal.
English striker Theo Walcott gave the lead back to the Gunners with a goal in the 53rd minute before Sanchez sealed the win with his second goal of the game during injury time.
Arsenal is right now settled at the fourth spot of the league table despite not having a loss since their opening day defeat in the hands of Liverpool.
