Match Details
Date- Tuesday, December 10 | Kick-Off- 1:30 AM (IST) | Venue- London Stadium
West Ham United
Jack Wilshere has returned to training and could have a part to play against his former club. Robert Snodgrass is doubtfull to start after coming being forced off the field against Wolves. Michail Antonio could come in place of Sebastien Haller provided he recovers on time. Lukasz Fabianski and Manuel Lanzini are ruled out due to injuries.
Arsenal
Hector Bellerin returned from a hamstring injury and featured in the 2-1 defeat at home against Brighton. Kieran Tierney wasn’t given a start in the last two games and could finally get an opportunity in the defence for the Gunners. Matteo Guendouzi is also expected to start in at central midfield. Dani Ceballos is on the sidelines due to injury, while Rob Holding is in doubt to start.
West Ham United- Martin; Fredericks, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Yarmolenko, Noble, Rice, Fornals; Anderson; Antonio
Arsenal- Leno; Bellerin, Sokratis, Luiz, Tierney; Xhaka, Guendouzi; Pepe, Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette
Felipe Anderson has been one of the standouts from West Ham’s perspective. The Brazillian has three assists from 14 appearances and a pass accuracy of 80% through midfield.
Alexandre Lacazette scored for Arsenal in the previous game and added his tally to five goals in 10 league appearances. The Frenchman could pack a punch for the visitors.
Declan Rice has displayed signs of quality in central midfield for West Ham. The 20-year-old has a pass accuracy of 90% from 15 league appearances.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the top scorer for Arsenal in the ongoing season and could be lethal on the attack. The Gabonese international has 10 goals from 15 appearances so far.
With both teams going through a horrid time, it will be difficult to term the tag of favourites on a specific team. However, West Ham’s home advantage combined with Arsenal’s players lacking the right attitude could get the Hammers all three points.
