Arsenal v West Ham United rounds off the day’s Premier League action and gets underway at 20:00 GMT.

Eddie Nketiah leads the line for the hosts in the absence of Gabriel Jesus, who suffered a knee injury while playing for Brazil in Qatar.

Elsewhere, it’s business as usual, with William Saliba partnering Gabriel Magalhaes at the back, despite playing in the World Cup final just eight days ago.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, however, is only a substitute, with Kieran Tierney the starting left-back.

As for West Ham, Michail Antonio has shaken off a calf injury to start up front in David Moyes’ 4-2-3-1 formation.

Thilo Kehrer, Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta also make the starting XI, while Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma are selected on the flanks.

GAMEWEEK 17 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah

Subs: Turner, Cedric, Zinchenko, Holding, Elneny, Lokonga, Vieira, Marquinhos, Cozier-Duberry

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Coventry, Downes, Fornals, Johnson, Lanzini, Mubama, Ogbonna, Emerson

    Crazy question this is, but seriously ... keep Darwin or not?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Certainly and Im a non owner.

    2. Ser Davos

      One more week v Ward at Anfield then Mitro/Toney/Martial

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Nketiah

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      Highest xG this GW.

      C'mon, you know how this game goes... he could easily score a brace next GW.

    4. Mirror Man
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I would definitely sell Nunes. I think he's made the wrong decision in signing for Liverpool and has already regressed. Things may go from bad to worse yet. Martial is a better pick imo.

        1. FPL Brains
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I would agree.

      • dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes he played well and goals will come

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          * so keep

        Donkey Darwin. How much did Liverpool pay for him?

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Much less than city paid for Haaland, I hope?

          1. Vote Joke
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Let’s not go down that road. Signing on fee paid to him was probably what Liverpool paid for Darwin.

          2. TheBiffas
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            In terms of the fee no. But haaland is on ridiculous wages

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I agree. Maby we expect to much of him, Luverpool has made so many brilliant signings under Klopp

              1. TheBiffas
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                I didn't really watch him at Benfica so I saw his goal tally last year and assumed he was a lot more prolific Infront of goal than he is proving to be. Can't help but think the money would have been better spent in midfield

        2. Mirror Man
            3 years, 3 months ago

            He should have gone to Newcastle when he had the chance.

            1. HellasLEAF
              • 16 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Had chances didn't convert. Could next week. I'd keep imo.

              If you can afford Salah get him instead.

      • GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Any chance Conte can play his 2nd half team talk at the start as well?

      • GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Good luck to the 37pc of Jesus owners just tuning in

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Crazy just how many dead teams there are already before the halfway point!

      • FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I'd sell my nan for a West Ham win

        1. Mirror Man
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I'm looking for a new nan. How much for yours?

            1. FantasyTony
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Depends on the scoreline

            2. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I'll give you mine for £100, as long as you dig her up.

            do you mean naan? I'm up for a curry.

          • Vote Joke
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            To be honest, why would anyone want someone’s Nan?

            1. FantasyTony
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              She's lovely

              • 8 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Goal disallowed

        5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Onside

        6. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Please be Martinelli assist

        7. putana
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          wow offside by a scrape of his foot

        8. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          So close to the dream duo

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Was it Martinelli created chance/assist?

            1. TheBiffas
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              No it was Nketiah

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Ok thanks

        9. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          We need 1,000,000p ultra infinite HD cameras for these decisions really

        10. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Odegaard 2nd assist.

          Martinelli not near the play.

          This is way Saka more expensive.

        11. FantasyTony
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Bowen YC

        12. 3 A
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Who will be the best Arsenal attacker after this? Hope he is Odegaard.

          1. HellasLEAF
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Saka

            1. 3 A
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              8.0 is too much

              1. TheBiffas
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                For an inform forward for the best team in the league, and on pens?

          2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Nketiah

            1. HellasLEAF
              • 16 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              What about when Jesus comes back. re: Nketiah.

              1. TheBiffas
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Not an issue when the bracket is flooded with alternatives

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Arsenal will buy in the transfer window

                  1. TheBiffas
                    • 5 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    My point stands

        13. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Eddie's gonna bag me a brace today surely

          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I just watched the Spurs' highlights. HOW was the assist not given to Kulu?

          1. 3 A
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Interesting question. Maybe they dont have Kulu..

            1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
              • 14 Years

                • 13 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                His pass was deflected away from its intended destination

                1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

          Nunez to nketiah looks tempting
