Arsenal travel to West Ham this Sunday afternoon, from 5.30 p.m., in a match counting for the 35th day of the Premier League. TV channel, probable compositions… Here is the information to know about the meeting.
The context of West Ham-Arsenal
West Ham, currently 7th in the Premier League, is still engaged in the Europa League, which is losing strength in the league for David Moyes’ men. Indeed, West Ham have won just one of their last five Premier League games, against 18th-placed Everton on April 3. The London derby against Arsenal should serve to re-motivate the Hammers, with the aim of grabbing a European place. Currently, West Ham, 7th, is one point behind Manchester United (6th).
For its part, Arsenal is firmly in 4th place in the standings, despite disappointing performances in the last five games (2 wins in a row against Manchester United and Chelsea after three defeats against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton). In form, compared to their last two games, Mikel Arteta’s men want to continue to get ahead of their pursuers, Tottenham (5th) and Manchester United (6th), who are two and five points away.
Probable line-ups of West Ham-Arsenal
David Moyes has serious problems in central defence, and Frenchman Kurt Zouma could start alongside left-back Aaron Cresswell. West Ham could therefore present themselves in a revamped 4-2-3-1, before the return match of the European Cup next Thursday, with Andriy Yarmolenko at the forefront.
Mikel Arteta will have to do without the services of Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney, both injured. The Spaniard, however, has an almost complete squad, with a possible return to the starting lineup of Takehiro Tomiyasu, after three months of absence.
West Ham’s probable line-up
Fabianski – Johnson, Zouma, Cresswell, Masuaku – Noble, Rice – Coufal, Benrahma, Vlasic – Yarmolenko.
Coach: David Moyes
Arsenal’s likely line-up
Ramsdale-Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Nuno-Odegaard, Elneny, Xhaka-Saka, Netiah, Martinelli.
Coach: Mikel Arteta
