That 36.7 percent win percentage differs greatly with his predecessor ten Hag's 70 percent at the same stage. West Ham, on the other hand, run out for their second game under Nuno, after Monday's 1-1 tie at Everton. West Ham have the curious record of having beaten Arsenal in consecutive games at the Emirates. Another loss at home by their London rivals is doubtful given the Gunners’ form – six victories from their last eight top-flight fixtures.

The trainer, who is seeking a third win in the race, also runs Los Angeles, third last year, but he will have to defy gate 14 to win. Another runner, who is just behind the favorite in the odds, was given stall 12.
