West Ham have three motivations to assist Arsenal in securing the Premier League title by defeating Manchester City.
Arsenal are hoping for a favor from West Ham United on the final day of the Premier League season. The Gunners are two points behind Manchester City, who will face West Ham at home, while Arsenal host Everton. If City win, they secure a fourth consecutive title. However, if City drop points and Arsenal win, the Gunners will clinch their first title in 20 years.
West Ham have more incentive to challenge City than Tottenham did in their recent 2-0 loss.
David Moyes’ final game in charge:
This match will be David Moyes’ last as West Ham’s manager before Julen Lopetegui takes over. After four and a half seasons, Moyes’ departure is amicable, and both fans and players will want to give him a memorable send-off with a victory.
Supporting Declan Rice:
West Ham fans have accepted Declan Rice’s departure to Arsenal for £105 million. Rice has had a significant impact at Arsenal and could win the Premier League in his first season. West Ham might be motivated to help their former captain achieve this milestone.
Moyes and Arteta’s connection:
Moyes may also want to support his former player, Mikel Arteta, now Arsenal’s manager. Arteta played for Moyes at Everton for six and a half years, spending the last two years as captain. Arteta has expressed his gratitude for Moyes’ influence on his career and hopes Moyes can help him achieve his dream of winning the Premier League.
