West Ham - Arsenal 4:0
After the loss at Fulham, there were those who already eulogized Arteta and Arsenal.
But since then three consecutive victories have come, including a great 1:3 at home in this season's match against Liverpool and the runner-up is again only two points away from the top in the three-way fight for the title with Manchester City.
Arsenal have won just once in their last four visits to West Ham, but the Hammers are in poor form with six consecutive games without a win, including a 3-0 win over Manchester United in the last round.
Gabriel Jesus is still ineligible and Kai Habertz started up front, while Andrew Trussard came up in midfield.
The injured Oleksandr Zinchenko was also left out of the squad.
The course of the game
15 minutes: A quarter of an hour into the opening, it is West Ham that is more dangerous with the bursting attacks.
Reyes, the Gunners midfielder who is meeting his ex whom he captained until the summer, is booed every time he touches the ball.
16th minute: West Ham demanded a penalty after Suchak was easily caught in the box by Odgor in a stationary position, but the referee ignored it.
22nd minute: Saka with a spinning ball found Trussard, who from the penalty area hit high and out.
Minute 23: A huge save by Areola, who flew and with a strong hand headed a ball out of the air by Trussard.
The biggest opportunity in the game.
32nd minute: Goal!
0:1 to Arsenal.
Reyes picked up a corner from the left, Saliba rose high and beat Areola.
35 min: Saka could have doubled the Gunners' lead, but hit wide.
Minute 37: This time Saka stayed in front of Areola and tried to bounce over him from a difficult angle, again missing the frame.
41st minute: Goal!
Trussard's long ball found Saka, who this time outpaced Areola and was fouled by him in the area.
Arsenal were awarded a penalty and Saka from the penalty spot scored his 50th goal in Arsenal's uniform.
0:2.
44th minute: Goal!
This is already Arsenal's third.
Again Reyes picked up a stationary position, this time it was the brakeman Gabriel who slammed in.
Minute 45+2: Goal!
This is already the fourth.

Aston Villa - Manchester United (18:30)
Aston Villa started the season in a simply amazing way and even captured the top.
But Unai Emery's team is in retreat and comes to this meeting after being kicked out of the cup by Chelsea and unstable in the league as well.
In their last home game, Villa were defeated for the first time against Newcastle and a second loss of the season to United could cost them the coveted fourth place, with the improving Tottenham trailing behind.
United, for their part, are also dreaming of this place and are eight points away from Villa, so this is a kind of last chance game for them.
United come to this meeting with momentum after three consecutive victories and they have also beaten Villa in the last three meetings, including 2:3 at Old Trafford in the previous meeting after trailing 2:0.
