West Ham United v Arsenal rounds off the day’s Premier League football.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Arsenal are unchanged from the side that beat Atletico Madrid in midweek.

That means Riccardo Calafiori continues at left-back, with Myles Lewis-Skelly preferred to Martin Zubimendi in central midfield.

Further forward, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Leandro Trossard support Viktor Gyokeres up top.

As for West Ham, they make two alterations: Jean-Clair Todibo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in for Kyle Walker-Peters and Pablo Felipe, who drop to the bench.

It suggests the Hammers will play with a back three.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Hermansen, Todibo, Mavropanos, Disasi, Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Fernandes, Diouf, Bowen, Summerville, Taty

Subs: Areola, Walker-Peters, Kilman, Wilson, Pablo, Magassa, Scarles, Potts, Kante

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Saka, Eze, Trossard, Gyokeres

Subs: Kepa, Mosquera, Hincapie, Odegaard, Martinelli, Madueke, Havertz, Zubimendi, Dowman

    Think my decision next week will be to get either Thiago in for Welbeck or double up on Arsenal defence.

    Think I’ll go for the fun one

        3 hours, 34 mins ago

        I thought of him this GW and then thought wtf would I not just get O’Reilly!

        Same thing happened earlier in the season when I got him and went off injured straight away then too

    Why not put Lewis Skelly LB and Caliaglori RB

      Not on it at all, looking leggy. Hope he even starts against Burnley after just getting him this week now 🙁

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years

      Sorry all for ruining him for FPL. Benching vs Burnley next

  7. g40steve

    Raya save

  8. BobB

    Save of the season there from Raya

  9. g40steve

    3 hours, 36 mins ago

    Arteta going to 5hit this unless Rice gets back into middle of park

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      3 hours, 33 mins ago

      If anyone scores it will be Rice, as I swapped him for Saka

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 hours, 32 mins ago

        Rice at right back, Eze walking about luxury player & Saka non existent, WHU must fancy this

  10. Fifa las vegas

    City fans getting excited

    Very poor from Arsenal.

  13. Sailboats
    • 10 Years

    Who are Arsenals first choice fullbacks, when fit?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 hours, 30 mins ago

      Timber and Caliaflori

      1. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        3 hours, 29 mins ago

        Ty man. Looks like ima buy calafiori

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          3 hours, 19 mins ago

          Wish I did that too, went with Saliba instead.

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            3 hours, 16 mins ago

            Timing

  14. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years

    0-0 to punish all the Saka and Gyokeres buyers? 😉

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      3 hours, 26 mins ago

      Yeah. I expect 6 Raya saves and Rice defcons, and baps ofc

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 hours, 18 mins ago

      Disappointed in myself going Saka over Sarr in a DGW

  15. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 hours, 25 mins ago

    A draw would mean it all comes down to Bournemouth v Man City...both teams win all the other games easily

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      3 hours, 24 mins ago

      Never seems to be that predictable.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 hours, 18 mins ago

      We could get another Aguerooooo finish to the season!

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 hours, 15 mins ago

        The way QPR let them score that goal was embarrassing and ruins it a bit for me, definitely fixed!

  16. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 hours, 19 mins ago

    Can someone explain def cons to me? It seems entirely subjective.

    I was expecting to see Gabriel on 10 by half time with all his headed clearances, yet he’s only on 3.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 hours, 17 mins ago

      Calafiori off

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 hours, 16 mins ago

      They should use recoveries as a measure instead. Like in UEFA and Fifa fantasy

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 hours, 15 mins ago

        Isn’t it CBI? Clearances, blocks and interceptions?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          3 hours, 14 mins ago

          Yeah I guess...

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 hours, 14 mins ago

          I think it’s CBA, can’t be arsed

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            3 hours, 10 mins ago

            😆

            Like the refs in May

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 hours, 17 mins ago

    Cali OFF

  18. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 hours, 15 mins ago

    Arsenal fullbacks are so lightweight

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      3 hours, 14 mins ago

      Also, Hincapie has been brilliant when he plays. No reason for him to be benched.

  19. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 hours, 14 mins ago

    Arteta making the important subs for getting a goal, Amorim would be proud

  20. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 hours, 14 mins ago

    Why did I move away from triple ARS defence??

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      3 hours, 12 mins ago

      Had the triple up nearly all season. Sold them all on WC32 and only bought Gabriel back. Think I will forget Saka/Gyokeres for Burnley and get a defender.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        3 hours, 9 mins ago

        Same here. Brainfart

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 hours, 12 mins ago

      Because they scored 3 goals against a Fulham team that where sunbathing while playing against Arsenal

  21. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year

    Spurs fans praying for an ARS goal.

  22. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 hours, 12 mins ago

    Side, side, back, side, this is dire.

    City loving this!

  23. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 hours, 12 mins ago

    Raya 2/3 of the way to a save point 😎

  24. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 hours, 11 mins ago

    Saka row J

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 hours, 10 mins ago

      Not row Z?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 hours, 9 mins ago

        Not enough power

  25. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 hours, 7 mins ago

    I'll take defcon points for Saka & Bowen

  26. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 hours, 7 mins ago

    I don’t know which is worst. Gyok not being involved, or Saka getting the ball but doing nothing with it.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 hours, 6 mins ago

      It's almost like that Fulham match was a "false dawn" for their attackers.

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 hours, 3 mins ago

      Saka got returns in 45 minutes last week, gyrokes returning for n 60 +

      2 players who haven’t exactly been smashing it

      Pts chasing?

  27. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 hours, 7 mins ago

    Arsenal look awful

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 hours, 5 mins ago

      Need a Bowen return !

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 hours, 4 mins ago

      Saka getting better - row G

  28. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 hours, 6 mins ago

    Nice bb this week !

    Dub no show
    Andersen r/c
    Cash c/s gone to Burnley
    Least kdh assist !

  29. Royal5

    3 hours, 6 mins ago

    Arteta subbed off his best player from the first half

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 hours, 4 mins ago

      Cali, because he made a huge mistake with Zuba & not Mosc

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 hours, 5 mins ago

    Saka bit closer

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 hours, 3 mins ago

      Ha, look up
