West Ham United have lost two games on the trot and will be itching to bounce back when they take on Arsenal this weekend in the Premier League at the Emirates.
The Gunners too are sailing on the same boat as they seek their first points under their new manager Unai Emery.
Arsenal will surely enter this match as the favourites but the Hammers have a pretty solid side which can cause much damage to Unai Emery’s side if they are as lack-lustre as they were against Manchester City and Chelsea.
West Ham United team news:
The back line will hopefully not see any change going into their third game with Masuaku and Pablo Zabaleta playing on the left and right wing respectively while the central defensive partnership will consist of Ogbonna and Balbuena.
Carlos Sanchez made his debut for the club when he came off the bench against the Cherries last weekend and Manuel Pellegrini will give him a start as the manager will be eager to get back to a three-man midfield.
Ever after a really bad performance against Bournemouth, Mark Noble is expected to keep his place in the starting line-up alongside summer signing and former Arsenal man Jack Wilshere.
During the defeat to Bournemouth, Manuel Pellegrini chose to play with two front-men which was a big disaster. So the manager will resort back to his old formation which will see Marko Arnautovic up front and Anderson on the left wing. Lucas Perez who was signed from Arsenal this summer is expected to make his debut against his former club.
West Ham United team news: Hammers’ predicted line up:
Goalkeeper: Fabianksi.
Defence: Masuaku, Ogbonna, Balbuena, Zabaleta.
Midfield: Sanchez, Wilshere, Noble.
Attack: Anderson, Arnautovic, Perez.
