Confirmed Arsenal line-up vs West Ham, Lewis-Skelly starts

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named his starting line-up for the Premier League clash against West Ham United on the road today.

The Gunners are two points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the standings and can extend the gap with a positive result.

Ahead of the London derby, Arteta has named his starting XI.

David Raya continues in goal as usual for the London giants. He has already won the Golden Glove award for the most clean sheets this term.

The backline stays the same. Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori start in the full-back positions. William Saliba partners Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the defence.

Similarly, Myles Lewis-Skelly has retained his midfield spot for the third game running. He starts alongside Declan Rice in the centre of the park for the Gunners.

Eberechi Eze continues as the attacking midfielder. Bukayo Saka has scored in back-to-back games since returning to the XI after an Achilles injury. He features on the right wing and will captain the side.

Leandro Trossard, who bagged an assist last weekend, slots on the left wing. Viktor Gyokeres netted a brace against Fulham and will lead the line once more.

Confirmed Arsenal line-up vs West Ham: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Lewis-Skelly, Rice; Saka, Eze, Trossard; Gyokeres.
