Arsenal v West Ham United rounds off the dayโ€™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, itโ€™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 Moyesโ€™ 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

    Meanwhile in Arsenal's changing room... https://youtu.be/xtgakdhY6io

    Why didn't I switch Martinelli to Odegaard? He just looks more central and Martinelli too wide

      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No point gnashing your teeth if you didn't forsee that Arsenal attacking output will diminish in Jesus' absence

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I actually looked at this when drafting but was against it when I realised how much value I would lose on Martinelli

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's why I didn't do it as well ๐Ÿ™

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Reckon Martinelli still better long term

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Kane denied blatant penalty

  4. JBG

    So happy I started Gabriel over Trippier. No wonder I'm barely 200k rank.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I started both and I'm not even close to the first million. You'll be fine.

      Look at your previous seasons. You are overperforming, dont act like a pro ๐Ÿ˜‰

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Burn

      2. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I started playing in money leauges and seriously in 2016/17. All the seasons before that, I fixed a team and totally forgot them.

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

      Awww just 200k, heart bleeds

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Look underneath.

    4. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wow I was lying apparently, haven't checked my rank in a long while... 1.8mill, is my rank. No wonder with decisions like that.

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Apologies for lying unknowingly hehe

  5. thegaffer82

    Lesson learned today. Don’t bench Trippier for White, no matter the fixture.
    There is still a small chance that Foden has annoyed Pep somehow and doesn’t get on the field tomorrow and I can get some jammy bench points

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Nketiah channeling his inner Kevin Nolan

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Shot off target so no assist ๐Ÿ˜‰

  8. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    SAKKAAAAAA

  9. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Of course it’s Saka

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is my stream somehow ahead of everyone else’s

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

      Nah this place is just empty

  11. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saka's contract up in 1.5 years. Arsenal need to think about cashing in...

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

    Now you grab one Eddie

  13. Tartan Brazilians
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why no assist for Darwin? Shot saved then Bajcetic scored

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

      Be the rules are made up as they go along

  14. One for All
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How was that assist awarded to Odegaard and Nunez not an assist?

    1. LE CHARO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Because Nunez crossed and Odegaard shot

  15. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martinelli goal

  16. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martin Ellie goal

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Marti G

  18. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Now that really IS points for everyone

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Less than 50% owned crazily enough, probably due to the threemiums and fourmiums

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

        That’s crazy!

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

      nah. got saka though

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

        Noice! I like Saka, miss owning him

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same

  19. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    No Arsenal or Liverpool players. Game over for me!

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

    Tierney has been terrific

    1. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Great player, miss him for Celtic

  21. sminkypinky

    Marty coming through.
    Getting rid of Mitro, Toney and Saka on my wc wasn’t going well. ๐Ÿ™‚

  22. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Xhaka A

  23. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years

    Arsenal are back baby

  24. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ben White has a surprisingly high xA of 0.31. I like it

  25. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Moyes HT team talk fail

  26. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Sold Martinelli for Rashford. Wanted to cash in.

  27. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    20% rank drop even with Martinelli, Kane, Trippier and Almiron. Nunez instead of Salah ruined everything.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      167 percent rank drop here no Kane and Salah

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same here. Hope KDB comes up trumps.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hope that too, or selling kdb for Salah for free. GL!

        1. bso
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          We will wait and see what Kevin is about. Have a good feeling about him.

  28. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    What is the last game for the yellow card counter to get reset?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      When a player has played 19 league games

  29. Sandy Ravage
