West Ham United have a clean bill of health heading into Sunday’s huge Premier League clash with Arsenal.
With West Ham versus Arsenal having major implications at either end of the Premier League table, Nuno needs all the help he can get right now.
Imaging you’re in Nuno’s shoes; Who are you bringing in to face Arsenal? 👞
It will be fascinating to see how he approaches it. Clearly, West Ham need a win, but Arsenal are in fine form again and could quite easily blow the Irons away.
West Ham have no new injuries heading into Arsenal clash
Speaking ahead of the game during his pre-match press conference, Nuno said: “Everybody is ok, which is good for us that everybody’s healthy.”
That is obviously good news heading into Sunday’s game, but it does present the West Ham head coach with some difficult decisions.
To boo or not to boo, that is the question… 😂
Indeed, Pablo Felipe was widely criticised following the defeat to Brentford, yet he has so far always been a key player under Nuno since his arrival in early January.
There are calls for Callum Wilson to start but the forward has completed only one Premier League game all season, and the last time he started was in mid-March.
Quite what Nuno does at right-back is also an interesting debate. Kyle Walker-Peters has played well in recent weeks and is also able to operate on the left, and El Hadji Malick Diouf did give away a cheap penalty at Brentford.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is another option, while Nuno could feasibly bring Jean-Clair Todibo back into fold and change West Ham’s shape entirely.
Injuries have been very kind to West Ham this season and a full squad does give Nuno some headaches heading into a game that could decide both the title race and the relegation scrap.
Odds are certainly against the Irons right now and having a fully fit squad is one of the only luxuries afforded to Nuno heading into a game many are expecting him to lose.
