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

(PA)

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:

SO CLOSE! Jesus threads the ball out to Tierney, whose fine cut-back looks destined to be turned home by the Arsenal striker. However, Jesus just fails to make contact in the face of goal, before Saka's cross is headed away.
