Fabianski, Cresswell, Diop, Dawson, Coufal, Rice, Soucek, Benrahma, Lingard, Bowen, Antonio.

West Ham take on Mikel Arteta’s improving Arsenal in what has become a huge game in the race for Europe.

West Ham can go level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea with a victory over the Gunners.

A win for Arsenal at the London Stadium could also reignite their European ambitions.

But Hammers supporters will be happy with how the Scot has set the team up to face the Gunners.

Everything points to a good game and West Ham vs Arsenal rarely disappoints in terms of entertainment and goals.
