The weekend’s Premier League action continues on Sunday when West Ham United host league-leaders Arsenal in a London derby.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

David Moyes makes three changes from last weekend’s 1-0 win over Fulham, as Thilo Kehrer, Lucas Paqueta and Said Benrahma replace Angelo Ogbonna, Pablo Fornals and Danny Ings.

The only survivors from Thursday night in Genk are Vladimir Coufal, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen.

As for Arsenal, they make just the one alteration and it’s enforced, as Kieran Tierney comes in for the injured Oleksandr Zinchenko. The 14.1% owned defender misses out as a precaution due to a tight groin.

Elsewhere, Eddie Nketiah is among the substitutes having missed the past month with an ankle problem.

GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

    Just need Saka to come to the party now, and more from Ødegaard & Jesus.

        True actually. More have Saka & Marti than Ødegaard & Jesus. So just more from the latter 2.

    Can't believe how punished I've been for keeping Saka ahead of Odegaard. All that planning in advance to keep the "better" option and it's not paid off at all

    So... Does Arteta show he really is a product of Pep and protect his best assets in the second half if the game stays like this? If yes, who do you think gets the hook to relax and rest?
