Arsenal predicted lineup vs West Ham: Tomiyasu back?

Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) – Whoever Saka comes up against at left-back for West Ham, whether it be a back three or a flat back four, the aim has to be to get at his man as much as possible. West Ham will be weary after their exploits on Thursday and a long season is starting to impact them.

Be direct and he’ll cause havoc. As ever.

Eddie Nketiah (ST) – Should have scored in the first half against Manchester United when he snapped at a shot and hit it straight at De Gea, which made his offside goal in the build-up to the penalty award stand out. In almost the same position the decided to take a touch, set himself, and finish calmly.

He’s learning, he’s threatening, and he’s in over Lacazette.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – At the London Stadium’s big pitch, someone of Martinelli’s pace could be a lethal asset for the Gunners as they seek to capitalise on what is hopefully some tired legs.

Smith Rowe wasn’t quite as effective last time out so Martinelli could come back in.
