Arsenal will be desperate to pick up their first win of the new Premier League season when they take on West Ham United at the Emirates this weekend.
The Gunners have lost both their opening matches against Manchester City and Chelsea respectively and Unai Emery will be desperate to pick up his first competitive win just to put a lid on all the protests that have started to grow against the club.
The Hammers too are winless in their first two games and Manuel Pellegrini will definitely come hard at the Gunners.
Arsenal team news:
Arsenal have signed Bernd Leno during the summer but the manager so far has put his faith on Petr Cech and he will hopefully start against West Ham United this weekend. Nacho Monreal returned from injury and played against Chelsea which means that he will start on the left-back role with the likes of Sead Kolasinac out with a long-term injury.
The rest of the back line will remain the same with Sokratis and Mustafi playing as centre-back while Hector Bellerin will be at right back.
The midfield area will be the major cause of concern especially with the likes of Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka both failing to perform and we believe that the duo will be dropped to the bench with Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette coming into the starting eleven.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan who played the Chelsea game out on the wing will take up the role of Mesut Ozil against the Hammers and Alexandre Lacazette will get his first start on the right-hand side. Both Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Iwobi are expected to retain their place in the first eleven.
Arsenal team news: Gunners’ predicted line-up:
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defence: Monreal, Sokratis, Mustafi, Bellerin.
Midfield: Guendouzi, Ramsey, Mkhitaryan.
Attack: Iwobi, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
