West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

The Gunners resume their quest for the Premier League title looking for a win after drawing at Liverpool last weekend

Arsenal still have the title in their own hands, just about, but they’ve reached a worrying point where they can’t seem to hold onto anything - not their nerve, not a 2-0 lead.

That’s what the true pressure of a Premier League race does, as the leaders just stopped playing. It means they’ve stopped winning, as Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead for another 2-2 for the second successive week. This time, it was away to a West Ham United who had previously been on poor form, rather than Liverpool who had previously been on poor form.

Whatever about the points and how it leaves Arsenal just four ahead of City with a game more played, the great question is whether you can afford to do this in this manner against Pep Guardiola’s side.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Arteta is unhappy with the time it took for Antonio and Paqueta to leave the field. We're into the final two minutes of the 90 as Arsenal continue to probe, but with six substitutions made and two penalties awarded, you would expect a lengthy period of stoppage time.

Nelson's first involvement sees him cut inside and cross for Saka, who heads well wide. The winger has been outstanding this season, but if this game ends level, his penalty miss will be viewed as a turning point.
