Arsenal fans may have thought their title run was over before it had even begun this season, but hope is on the horizon.

Manchester City’s poor form leaves the Gunners with an opportunity to jump ahead of them in the standings on Saturday and put pressure on Liverpool.

The Reds host the champions on Sunday afternoon and both teams will have their eyes on this clash in East London.

West Ham picked up a big result against Newcastle last time out and will be hoping for more of the same under the lights.

Read on to see how both teams line-up.

West Ham team news

Julen Lopetegui has gone with the same core of players following the win at St James’ Park.

Lukasz Fabianski remains in goal, with a back four of Emerson, Max Kilman, Jean-Clair Todibo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Tomas Soucek starts again alongside Lucas Paqueta in midfield.

While Crysencio Summerville, Carlos Soler and Jarrod Bowen sit further ahead in attack.

Michail Antonio leads the line once again with both Mohammed Kudus and Niclas Fullkrug both out.

Arsenal team news

Mikel Arteta has not strayed too far away from last week’s line-up.

David Raya is in goal, with a back four of Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori.

Martin Odegaard’s return has been a welcome one and he starts, as do Jorginho and former Hammer Declan Rice.

Bukayo Saka is in his usual right-wing position, with Leandro Trossard on the left.

And Kai Havertz will be looking to get on the scoresheet as a striker.
