After a marvellous 3-1 victory against Liverpool last week, Arsenal must be high in confidence. They will next travel to the London Stadium to face home side West Ham in the Premier League. It will be a crucial game for the North London side keeping the title race in mind.
The Gunners are third in the points table with 49 points in 23 games. They have to aim to collect three vital points tomorrow afternoon. Fortunate for Mikel Arteta, multiple key players are likely to return for the fixture and help the side on a day Arsenal simply can’t afford to drop points.
4-2-3-1 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs West Ham
Defence
David Raya will once again line up in goal. He has been a solid performer ever since he arrived at the club last summer. At the right-back position, the Gunners will have the services of Ben White, who had a decent outing against Liverpool.
William Saliba and Gabriel will form the heart of the defence and will be expected to drop solid performances to help the side secure three points. Jakub Kiwior is likely to replace Oleksandr Zinchenko as the left-back as the latter suffered a calf injury in the previous game.
Midfield
Declan Rice and Jorginho will be the holding midfielders and key deciders of the rhythm of the game. Bukayo Saka, Odegaard and Martinelli are going to form the trio to help in the offensive front. All three had an impactful performance against Liverpool and will be hoping to repeat the same. Saka faced some fitness issues but he is expected to be available and start.
Attack
A big relief for Arteta as Gabriel Jesus is expected to be available for the game. He missed the Liverpool clash due to a knee injury and Kai Havertz took his position. However, Havertz looked completely off-colour in the demanding position and was often muscled off the ball.
