The Gunners have beaten West Ham in their last ten head to heads and will be looking to get off to a winning start this season.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is a name most followers of Turkish football are all too familiar with after his two-seasons spent at Beşiktaş.

Özil provided nine assists and five goals in 32 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions last season. The 26-year-old played a staring role during Arsenal’s pre-season and has been tipped as a candidate for player of the year by manager Arsene Wenger.
