The Gunners are currently on a two-match winning run and will be aiming to continue the streak against the Hammers.

Predicted Line-up:

Aaron Ramsdale looks set to start in goal for the Gunners. He is currently the second-choice goalkeeper and is likely to get the nod over David Raya as part of the rotation.

In defence, we fancy a couple of changes from the 5-0 rout of Sheffield United in the Premier League. Gabriel Magalhaes and Takehiro Tomiyasu are likely to replace Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

There are likely to be multiple changes in midfield from the weekend. Jorginho is expected to return in the holding role with Declan Rice playing more centrally. Martin Odegaard should get the nod in the no.10 spot. Emile Smith Rowe and Kai Havertz should drop to the bench.

Further forward, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli should be given a breather with Reiss Nelson and Leandro Trossard starting. Eddie Nketiah is primed to lead the line with Gabriel Jesus out with a hamstring issue.

Predicted Arsenal line-up: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Jorginho, Rice; Nelson, Odegaard, Trossard; Nketiah.
