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

    Fair play to Bowen for trying to stay on his feet. Good decision.

      3 years, 18 days ago

      Have the wheels started to fall off the Arsenal brilliant start to the season - first eleven very good but injuries or suspension squad possible not deep enough - no Jesus - who to replace?

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

            3 years, 18 days ago

    Arsenal will choke as usual. Joke club

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Bottling club at its best

  9. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Arsenal title hopes collapse

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      It's only a goal.

  10. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Feels like a lot more pen takers are going down the middle

  11. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Not usually cheering for CS wipe aloud but after that Darwin fest I will take this.

  12. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    14 from 2 today for me. Need a big performance from Chelsea and United to make up for the high owned players like Salah, Kane etc.

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      30 from 4. Praying KDB does well. Nunez a complete waste...out for Mitro next.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        May have to sell Wilson if he is still sick. Then Wilson will start, Mitro will get a yellow and I’ll swap again lol

        1. bso
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 18 days ago

          Lol yes, that's how it goes for us.

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Surely can’t get rid of nunez before Leicester

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      On for a good score with 14 from 2!

  13. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Nketiah playing with a child’s strength today. No threat in all he air either.

  14. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Seen puddles deeper than this arsenal squad

  15. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Look at Nketiah's points tally's throughout this season and try and tell me he isn't the most consistent player in FPL...

  16. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    west ham play like a relegation side

  17. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    When is the Salah assist getting removed?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Next season

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

  18. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    So, Darwin 4 big chances missed, 6 shots total...xg underperformer extraordinaire

    Brought in Martial, xg overperformer extraordinaire

    Looks like Salah was coming in centrally like old times..

    We'll see how KDB does, has the dgw in anyways

  19. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

  22. RICICLE

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

  23. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

  24. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Ode should take it

  25. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Never a pen

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Ridiculous to give a penalty therr

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Think that ref usually wears glasses

  27. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Shouldn't be a pen. Hit his face

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Pen not given. Good VAR.

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Agree

  28. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Despite Michael Oliver's best efforts, we go into half time with West Ham in the lead.

  29. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Tbf most of the Arsenal players just as blind by claiming for a pen

  30. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Did anyone see if Saka or Martinelli was gonna take it before it got taken away?
