Arsenal vs West Ham United: Talking Tactics
Mikel Arteta will be going with a 4-3-3 formation but the attacking line is already compromised due to multiple injuries. Hence, he will ask his midfielders to come up with more offensive plays and try to control the game better.
Graham Potter is likely to name a 4-2-3-1 structure to take on the Gunners. They need to be patient and defend in better shape to avoid early damage. Once they settle down, they can do link-up plays to move up front.

Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are all unavailable for selection.
