Both Arsenal and West Ham have gotten off to poor starts to the 2018/19 season.

The Gunners suffered defeats to Manchester City and Chelsea while West Ham were beaten by both Bournemouth and Liverpool.

Unai Emery and his side will be desperate to get some points on the table this weekend in order to climb back up the Premier League table.

Star playmaker Mesut Ozil was taken off midway through the second half last weekend. SkySports pundit Gary Neville believes the Germany international is already fighting for his Arsenal future under Emery.

Arsenal Team News: 

Arsenal will be without Bosnia international Sead Kolasinac who is still sidelined with a knee injury. Laurent Koscielny is also ruled out with a long-term muscle injury.

Lucas Torreira who replaced Xhaka at the weekend could be handed his full debut against the Hammers. Meanwhile, Emery could decide to field summer signing Stephan Lichtsteiner in place of Hector Bellerin, who struggled at Stamford Bridge.

Mesut Ozil is available for selection once again and looks set to retain his place in Arsenal’s starting eleven.

Aaron Ramsey remains a question mark in Arsenal fans minds, the Wales international has entered the final 12 months of his contract and started on the bench last weekend.
