Arsenal v West Ham – Match Preview
Arsenal will start as heavy favourites against a stuttering West Ham as Premier League action returns to the Emirates. The Gunners picked up a routine Champions League win in midweek and can go top of the table – for a few hours at least – with another home win here.
West Ham have started poorly and already changed their manager but they have won on their last two visits to Arsenal.
All four points collected in the Premier League this season have been on the road, too, so perhaps the Hammers fans will be happy to be away from home again this weekend. Can they win for a third year on the spin?
Arsenal v West Ham team news
Arsenal did pick up another injury in midweek, Gaabriel coming off against Olympiakos with a knock that could see him miss out.
Bukayo Saka is back and fit again which is timely as Noni Madueke has joined Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus in lengthy spells on the sidelines.
Nuno Espirito Santo is expected to have the same squad available to him as Tomas Soucek completes a suspension and full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka remains ill.

Prediction
Arsenal are finding their form and with Bukayo Saka back in the side should make light enough work of an out-of-sorts West Ham.
