Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling has given his prediction for West Ham’s United’s Premier League trip to Arsenal on Boxing Day.
Stelling, who has presented Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday results show for the last 28 years, has revealed his expectations ahead of the Boxing Day fixtures in the Premier League, including the London derby between Arsenal and David Moyes' side.
For both sides, it will be their first competitive fixture for over six weeks following a break from club football for the 2022 World Cup.

Although the Gunners will go into the Emirates Stadium clash without key striker Gabriel Jesus, Stelling is still tipping them to win the game 2-1 against the Hammers.
“Arsenal will be without their star striker Gabriel Jesus due to injury, but they were Christmas number one for a reason and are continuing to show great signs,” said Stelling in his Super 6 predictions .
“There may be a bit of ring rust but that will be the same for both sides, so I expect Arsenal’s quality to prevail in this one.”
For David Moyes, he will be hoping to end a career record of 70 matches without ever winning a league match away at Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester United.
Going into the game, he has injury concerns over six first-team players but is set to give an update on those on Friday afternoon.
