West Ham Preview and News
West Ham approach this clash against Arsenal from the Premier League’s relegation zone. Nuno Santo’s team is one point behind the 17th Tottenham Hotspur, and they are desperate for a win here. But at the same time, Arsenal are desperate for a win as well – they want to keep their advantage in front of Man City.
Last week, West Ham conceded their 17th defeat for the season. The Hammers faced Brentford away from home, but it got ugly as they suffered a 0-3 loss. Clearly, Nuno Santo was not happy at all with his team’s performance.
West Ham’s manager could make some changes in his line-up against Arsenal. Players like Wan-Bissaka, Kante, Todibo and Wilson started from the bench against Brentford, but they can be in contention to start against the leader.
Arsenal Preview and News
Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has some important decisions to make before this game. During the week, the Gunners reached the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid, but it wasn’t easy – some of his players could be very tired at the moment. Some rotations in the starting eleven could be made.
If Arteta decides to rotate the line-up, it means that players like Havertz, Martinelli, Madueke, Odegaard and Zubimendi could be put in the starting eleven.
At the same time, Arsenal can’t allow themselves to underestimate this match – this could cost them the Premier League title. That’s why we believe that Mikel Arteta will put his best possible team on the pitch.
