The busy Christmas period has arrived and just like last season Arsenal find themselves very much in the race for the title. The Gunners have not been blowing teams away like this did in the last campaign, but they have been exceptionally tight at the back. Summer signing Declan Rice has provided some extra support for the back four and the north London club have been incredibly difficult to break down. 

Rice will certainly want to impress against his former club, especially after starting on the bench in the Carabao Cup tie as West Ham secured an impressive 3-1 win over Arsenal. Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus both scored in that victory and have been in superb form in recent weeks. The forwards carry a serious goal threat and manager David Moyes will hope they can find some cracks in the Gunners defence. 

Will Arsenal extend their unbeaten run at the Emirates or can the Hammers secure a second win this season over their London rivals? You can find out by watching an Arsenal vs West Ham live stream from anywhere with our guide down below.

How to watch the Arsenal vs West Ham live stream wherever you are

The Arsenal vs West Ham live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and still want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock TV or another service to watch the game.
