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

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Anang, Johnson, Emerson, Downes, Fornals, Lanzini, Cornet, Ings

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

      Either because of his really poor performance vs. Sevilla, or perhaps a knock.

      Arsenal have City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton consecutively once they've torn Southampton apart. I think their league dream ended after throwing away the win v LFC.

          Two tough away fixtures

          People thought they wouldnt get top 6 in August

          Now its a failure if they dont win the league. Arsenal even if they finish second will get over 80+ points and have had a hugely over achieving season pushing the best squad in europe all year

              Its not since its City with Haaland chasing them with only what 5 points behind, not blackpool and Arsenal still had City Newcaste Liverpool away and Brighton at home

              The bookies have had City slight favorites across the markets even before todays match

              Nah I think that’s unfair. This is Arsenal we’re talking about, not even top 4 just last season, Don’t think they’ve been favourites with the bookies at any point during the season.

      A bit of a shame from an FPL perspective
      City have been a pretty woeful team to own players from if they do end up champions given everyone owns and caps Haaland
