West Ham United 2025/26 Season
Nuno Espírito Santo was appointed as West Ham manager in the summer of 2025, following his successful spell at Nottingham Forest. However, the Portuguese has struggled to replicate that form at the London Stadium, with the Hammers spending much of the season in the relegation zone. Key players including Lucas Paquetá, Jarrod Bowen, and summer signing Niclas Füllkrug have been unable to lift the team out of trouble. With relegation still a real threat, every home match represents a cup final for the East London faithful.
Arsenal 2025/26 Season
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have been title contenders throughout the campaign, seeking to end their two-decade wait for Premier League glory. The summer arrival of Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon added firepower alongside Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard. Declan Rice continues to anchor the midfield alongside Martin Ødegaard and Martin Zubimendi, while the defensive partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel has been formidable. With three runners-up finishes in the previous three seasons, Arsenal are determined to finally go one better.
