Arsenal welcomed West Ham to Emirates knowing that a victory can prove a vital step on the side of Mikel Arteta that is grounding in the leaders of the Premier League Liverpool.
Reds’ 2-2 draw at Aston Villa in the middle week opened the door so slightly to Arteta’s men and the Hammers victory will move them within five points of the Slot team, facing Manchester City on Sunday.
West Ham, meanwhile, failed to win a win in the last four games with the new Graham Potter boss who is struggling to make an impact. Today they are in 16th place, 10 points above the fall zone.
Here’s how the two line-up teams for this All-London case.

🇳🇴 Odegaard Skippers on the side
🇪🇸 Merino drives the line
Let’s make the most of this opportunity, Gunners ✊
