Hincapie To Start, Calafiori On The Bench | 4-2-3-1 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs West Ham United | OneFootball

Arsenal will face off against West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday as they look to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a narrow 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid recently, so they would be full of confidence going into this game.

Mikel Arteta will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one change to his first XI for this clash. Piero Hincapie could get a chance to impress from the start of this game, while Riccardo Calafiori makes way for him and drops to the bench.

Defence

David Raya will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners after he kept a clean sheet in his last league outing. William Saliba will function alongside Gabriel at the centre of the Arsenal backline as they focus on keeping a good shape on the defensive end of the field.

Ben White will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Piero Hincapie looks to prove his value on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Myles Lewis-Skelly and Declan Rice will anchor the midfield for the North London club as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Leandro Trossard, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka will play just ahead of them as part of Arteta’s attack. All three of them need to be at the top of their game if the Gunners are to secure a good result this weekend.

Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Viktor Gyokeres will spearhead Arsenal‘s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat on the offensive end of the field.

Gabriel Jesus will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if required.
