The hosts, meanwhile, will be looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the WSL after losing to Manchester City and Everton in their last two league games.
Match preview
Although West Ham have lost their opening two league games of 2023, they have enjoyed success in the cup competitions over the last couple of weeks.
They claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Liverpool in the League Cup to set up a semi-final tie with Chelsea, which takes place on Thursday.
Another victory followed last weekend as West Ham advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup, with a Dagny Brynjarsdottir strike and a Katie Johnson own goal guiding the Hammers to a 2-0 win over third-tier side Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Hammers will be hoping to transfer their cup form into the league, as they bid to move into the top half of the table with one point separating them from the top six.
West Ham have experienced mixed fortunes at home this season, with their six home WSL matches split evenly between wins and defeats, and they will be aware that they will have their work cut out against a top-quality Arsenal side.
The Gunners have not played a league game since January 15 after their scheduled meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion was postponed, but they have been in cup action in the last 10 days.
Like Sunday's opponents, Arsenal will be involved in the League Cup semi-finals after cruising to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.
They were also in fine goalscoring form last weekend, racking up nine goals in their FA Cup tie against fourth-tier outfit Leeds United.
As a result of the 9-0 victory, Arsenal set up a fifth-round tie with Arsenal, but they will turn their attention back to league matters this weekend, with Jonas Eidevall's side currently sitting in third place.
Although Arsenal are three points adrift of Chelsea and Manchester United, they hold a game in hand over the top two, and after winning all four of their away league games this season, they will be confident that they can at least maintain that gap by picking up a victory on Sunday.
