🗞️ Team News: West Ham United

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui to be concerned about due to a largely intact squad. Niclas Füllkrug (Achilles tendon irritation) is sidelined.

It looks as if The Hammers could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Lukasz Fabianski, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, K. Mavropanos, Max Kilman, Emerson, Tomas Soucek, Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen, Carlos Soler, C. Summerville and Michail Antonio.

🗞️ Team News: Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has not got a full squad to pick from. Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee injury) and Ben White (Knee surgery) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that The Gunners appear most likely to play in a 4-3-3 lineup, starting the game with David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior, Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Oedegaard, Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli.

💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Arsenal will, in all probability, be in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of their chances.

Conversely, West Ham United may well find it hard scoring goals but we think it’s quite likely that they will be getting the chances to score, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 1-3 victory for Arsenal when the referee blows the final whistle.
