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

    Some of poorest transfers this season have involved arsenal assets.
    Sold martinelli for odegard in GW23
    Swapping white to Gabriel on WC26
    Selling odegard instead of Saka in GW29

      I said at the time on here all those moves were a waste of a transfer

      I had the same choices and didnt do them since all Arsenal players are longterm holds

      People really waste transfers in this game

        Well clearly not all Arsenal players are long term holds otherwise the ones he switched them to would have performed just as well…

          Saka will score well for the rest of the season

          In fact he is my priority transfer to get in shortly

          Longterm holds mean you get 3 and keep, and not waste transfers and -4 to move them around and then complain in the week your player doesnt score

                Yeah he's still on penalties but this game is about points, he's not delivering lately. Martinelli on the other hand has been on form.

          Its nothing to do with genius.

          Majority of people on this forum dont know how to play this game and arent patient enough and chase points and waste transfers, then complain. Ive been on here since 2008 on and off and its the same every year.

          People on here i bet you will discuss tonight the idea of selling saka since he hasnt scored the past 2-3 games

          Im most likely buying Saka for next week and playing every week until the end.

        Martinelli was getting subbed off early when I sold, whilst odegaard was 90 minute man. He didn't start match vs villa.
        WC unlimited transfer so not a waste to sell a defender with no attacking threat to one that has attacking threat. Like you could've predicted white would gets 2 goals & 2 assists
        & I was always going to sell an Arsenal mid in 29 for a DGW player. The people that sold saka (like you) are ones who couldn't afford haaland unless you sold Saka.

      There is a big difference between patience and making good decisions that lead to bad outcomes. Right now, Saka is not worth the outlay. Martinelli and Jesus are definite for my FH based on the data but good decision could always lead to bad outcome. I would prefer White or Odegaard over Saka based on the same data and the same outcome could apply.

        We cant make such decisions based on one half or even 2-3 games

    For people going crazy about Saka being quite.

    For the first goal he is on the pen spot waiting for the cut back from White - could have easily been the scorer.

    For the second goal he is the CF again on the pen spot as the cross comes in.

    He is taking up good central attacking areas. The points will come easily, just a matter of patience.

      Dominic Solanke

      (Last 4 matches)

      League rank:

      Shots in the box = 1st
      Non penalty xG = 1st
      Non penalty xGi = 1st
      Big chance involvements = 1st

      His numbers have been extraordinarily impressive

      Great shout for those on FH32.

        If Kane could play against spurs, his stats would be great too

      Watched the highlights between the two teams this morning and Bournemouth look like they are much more determined to win matches than Spurs. Crazy answer but I think I’d go Solanke
