Despite West Ham United receiving a boost from their 3-1 win against Southampton, the Gunners will be seeing their game against the relegation-threatened East Londoners as an opportunity to put pressure on those above them by earning three points.
Arteta’s side also had a good result in their last Premier League outing, when they managed to beat Everton 3-2.
With Arsenal looking to build on their positive 2020 so far, here is the XI that Arteta has selected to face David Moyes’ West Ham.
It includes six changes from the win over Pompey with Pablo Mari earning his first league start. Hector Bellerin and Alexandre Lacazette only make the bench while Eddie Nketiah gets another chance to shine. Dani Ceballos and Granit Xhaka make up the midfield with Lucas Torreira out.
