West Ham United are preparing to host Arsenal at home in the Premier League this weekend. The former side comes into the clash after registering a well-deserving 2-0 win over Newcastle United and will surely be high in confidence.
The Hammers are 14th on the domestic points table and it will be a golden opportunity for them to prove themselves. With the support of the home crowd, they can provide a tough clash with the Gunners and make their life harder.
Defence
Lukasz Fabianski started the previous game ahead of Alphonse Areola and managed to keep the clean sheet. Hence, the former should be able to keep his position on the side. Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka was absolutely brilliant and his question remains unquestioned.
Jean-Clair Todibo suffered a blow and he is likely to be replaced by Dinos Mavropanos. The latter will form the heart of the defence with Max Kilman. No change in the left-back position as Emerson keeps his spot.

Midfield
Tomas Soucek continues to be the deep-lying midfielder trying to control the tempo of the game.
Attack
While Jarrod Bowen gets deployed on the right wing, Crysencio Summerville provides his services from the left side of the pitch. Carlos Soler and Lucas Paqueta should continue operating in the central areas and be the linkage line between the attack and the midfield.
Michail Antonio received a standing ovation in the previous game. He showcased how a number nine can impact the game positively. He leads the line again and will be desperate to find the back of the net.
Mohammed Kudus and Niclas Fullkrug are confirmed absentees but Edson Alvarez will mark his return. However, manager Julen Lopetegui is suspended after picking up his third yellow card.
