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

    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, 18 days 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, 18 days 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, 18 days ago

        That's why I didn't do it as well 🙁

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

          Reckon Martinelli still better long term

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

            😉

    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, 18 days 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 😉

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Burn

      2. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 18 days 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

      Awww just 200k, heart bleeds

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Look underneath.

    4. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 18 days 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
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 18 days 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, 18 days ago

    Nketiah channeling his inner Kevin Nolan

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

    Shot off target so no assist 😉

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

    SAKKAAAAAA

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

    Of course it’s Saka

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

    Is my stream somehow ahead of everyone else’s

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Nah this place is just empty

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

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

  12. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Now you grab one Eddie

  13. Tartan Brazilians
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Why no assist for Darwin? Shot saved then Bajcetic scored

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

      Be the rules are made up as they go along

  14. One for All
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. LE CHARO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Because Nunez crossed and Odegaard shot

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

    Martinelli goal

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

    Martin Ellie goal

  17. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Marti G

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

    Now that really IS points for everyone

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

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

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

        That’s crazy!

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      nah. got saka though

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

        Noice! I like Saka, miss owning him

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Same

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

    No Arsenal or Liverpool players. Game over for me!

  20. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Tierney has been terrific

    1. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Great player, miss him for Celtic

  21. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

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

  22. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Xhaka A

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

    Arsenal are back baby

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

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

  25. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Moyes HT team talk fail

  26. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Sold Martinelli for Rashford. Wanted to cash in.

  27. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      167 percent rank drop here no Kane and Salah

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

      Same here. Hope KDB comes up trumps.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

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

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

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

  28. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      When a player has played 19 league games

  29. Sandy Ravage
