Arsenal have another must-win match as they host West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. A 3pm kick-off just four days before a difficult trip to Nottingham Forest and of course ahead of Liverpool’s monumental battle with Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta has the task of deciding whether to lean into the masterstroke that was Mikel Merino in the win over Leicester City or instead look to again be more conservative. It could be that the moment was perfect for the Spaniard to come on and score and from the start it would not have the same effect.
There are other options and other players to consider, especially with that tight turnaround to the next game. With that in mind, here is the football.london predicted line-up for the clash with West Ham.
