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

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

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.

    It's a goal or the game is lost

    Every Arsenal goal this season has a required a throat choke

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Crazy how they review some contact but not others

    2. borat
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Holding GK hand while ball catching is always a foul.

  2. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    The will disallow it

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      It would be the right call tbf

  3. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    You can’t have your arm across the keepers chest and holding his far bicep like that surely. I’ve seen some nonsense calls protecting goalkeepers but you can’t do that

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      *forearm

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      But keepers have arm ,extension advantage to !

      They clutter into people
      Over protected!

      1. borat
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        So that's the rule applied to every team.

  4. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    That has to be a goal

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Holding keepers arm come on

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        This

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Todibo is pulling him too at the same time

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Todibo had hold as well 2 WHU players holding keeper

    2. borat
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      2 players fouling the GK

  5. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Keepers over protected

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      100%

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    How is it a foul when there’s arms all over other players, look at Rice round the defender 😆 lmao

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Shut up you pleb

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        It’s true though, there’s arms around loads of players, open your eyes

    2. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Keepers use their arms to make saves.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        His arms weren’t being held?

    3. borat
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Holding GK arm otherwise its a catch or hand clearance

  7. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Scrubbed

  8. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Why play games , just give Arsenal the title today

    VAR award!

    Yay! Fake Champions!

    1. SM001
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      The bitterness

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

    3. borat
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Learn some rules

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    His left hand is holding Raya’s left arm.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Todibo had Raya shirt as well

  10. JBG
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Gial disallowed

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Right call, was wrestling with Rayas arm there

      1. GREEN JUMPERS
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        You can’t play touch-free football. Disgraceful

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    VAR is awful

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      You are a moron

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Mostly for saying the goal had been given at the bottom of the last page.

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        His streams 10 mins slow

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          It was actually behind

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 17 days ago

            And had been given at that point

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Correct decision

  12. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    VAR sucks man

  13. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Holy f what a weak ref. Absolute fn joke rigged season. Congrats on the PL deciding that Arsenal was going to win the league despite being crap.

    1. borat
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      City has been given so much favours from referees and the PL, but but it's Arsenal

  14. GREEN JUMPERS
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    That’s terrible - and I’m a Forest fan

  15. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    I am neutral who wins the title looks a foul to me

  16. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Good call. You can’t pulled the keeper’s arm down and have a goal scored.

  17. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Game’s gone. All I saw in the area was genuine footballing actions

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Exactly, see that on every single corner, the fact Wilson smashed in after is irrelevant

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Yep, game has gone. VAR is just selective now. What about Rice holding in the lead up. Also nothing given for us on VAR earlier for blatant push on Strand Larsen in the box.

    3. borat
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Yeah game's gone if City will be allowed to win PL. Strip them off all their titles.

  18. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Justice

  19. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    VARsenal 😆

  20. JBG
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    I have no "horse" in this race. But that's a clear foul on Raya, can't believe people are upset.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Same. Utd fan and that’s a foul all day

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      You’re wrong

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Yep. Big team mentatilty sadly.

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Lots of holding fouling nothing give, what about Rices holding before it, just selective. Games gone sorry, blatantly favouring the big teams as usual.

  21. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    #25 of West Ham was literally being tacked and moved like a NFL defensive end.

    What total garbage!

    I'm not a Wet Spam fan, not Arsenal either

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Yeah that’s worse the other decision was correct. How does that not get more of a review waved off after seconds

  22. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    There's about 5 infringements in the penalty area. How you give that, it's a scrum. Arsenal do it every corner. Game is gone.

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Because keepers use their arms to make saves so allowing attackers to hold their arms down would actually mean the game is gone

    2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Everyone was pulling shirts,.so true..

      That's killing the game.

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Yep, but when its against Arsenal it given.

    4. borat
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Because it was an easy catch for Raya

  23. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Arteta calling for Rice handball and penalty and ignoring any potential ‘foul’ on the keeper is comedy gold 😆

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Always fake news with you. Saucy Salah. You can change your name as many times as you want, but you always blurt out wrong comments. I have no idea how you haven’t been perma banned here yet.

      Why on last page you wrote it was given when they were still checking? You crave attention?

      I literally never come here anymore. I watched comments for five mins and same old you, coming up with fake news.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        And then after it’s chalked off. You write “justice” like you wanted it chalked off when one min before you said it’s not a foul.

        What drugs are you on?

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        My stream was a minute behind and I posted given about the ball being over the line, so how is that fake sorry?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          How’s that make any sense? You say given after a VAR check. You don’t say given when someone scores. You come out with fake comments multiple times a day.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 17 days ago

            It was given by the referee after he consulted his watch? It didn’t hit the back of the net albeit it was way over the line there was still a pause until confirmed

    2. SM001
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      No he wasn't. He was pointing to his arm as he saw Raya's arm being held. Like everyone else on planet earth saw.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Ah ok even Neville on comms thought Arteta was asking for a handball and penalty, the way Arteta reached out his arm touching it came across that way anyway, even fooled the commentator.

  24. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Arsenal lucky asf. That was ugly

  25. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Gabriel defcon plus clean sheet plus max bonus

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      For everyone

  26. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Not an Arsenal fan but this is clearly the right call. That thug tactic of pushing and holding goalkeepers on corners needs to stop.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Also Rice grabbing Mavropanos with 2 arms around his waist needs to be stopped.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        One West Ham player, Todibo, pulling the back on the keepers jersey and the other with an arm across his chest and holds the forearm. Can’t not be a foul, come on

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 13 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          No, I’m not saying it wasn’t a foul on Raya, it was. I mean the refereeing in general needs to improve in these situations so there is this grappling and cheating from both sides to prevent a goal.

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        No, that's allowed as he plays for Arsenal (one for the big teams)

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    11 pointer from Gabriel, lovely stuff

  28. who_dat
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    VAR has absolutely ruined prem football

  29. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Leeds fans delighted

  30. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    on 63 points
    then 75 points thanks to VAR
