The league leaders face a tricky fixture as they entertain London rivals away from home.
Arsenal travel across London to face West Ham United in a Premier League contest at London Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners hope to get a positive outcome after dropping points at Anfield during a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in their last match. Although they had taken a 2-0 lead, the Reds fought back and claimed a point, and Arsenal’s title hopes suffered a setback then.
Looking ahead, the Gunners have tricky fixtures that include games against Newcastle United, Manchester City, Brighton, and Chelsea. So a win against inconsistent West Ham will be a huge leap towards achieving their ultimate title dream.
On the other hand, the Hammers – as they fight to avoid relegation - have fixtures against Liverpool and the Manchester clubs.
They had a modest game against Genk in the UEFA Europa Conference League, as they drew 1-1 against Gent on Thursday.
David Moyes’ big task is to help his players navigate the many games as they strive to climb the table.
Team News
Moyes is expected to make changes to his squad that traveled to Belgium and faced Gent. Consequently, Lukasz Fabianski is expected to be restored to the starting lineup.
Tomas Soucek, Kurt Zouma, Michail Antonio, and Lucas Paqueta are the other top stars that are set to reclaim their positions in the starting XI.
The only player missing for Moyes is Gianluca Scamacca, who had knee surgery that is expected to rule him out of the season.
William Saliba – who has missed three games for Arsenal – will not be available for Arteta, and that means Rob Holding is going to be fielded once again.
On a positive note, Eddie Nketiah has recovered from an injury and is available for selection.
