West Ham vs Arsenal: Declan Rice returns to the old ground for a big match

Welcome to West Ham vs Arsenal

West Ham welcome Arsenal to the London Stadium and look to continue their strong home form against Mikel Arteta's title chasers.

Despite having to be sent off against Man Utd after colliding with Kurt Zouma, David Moyes said the move was just a precautionary measure and that Alphonse Areola will be fine for today's match.

Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio will both miss the match against the Gunners as they recover from injuries.

The Hammers are unlikely to make many, if any, changes to the team that played the Red Devils as Moyes listed many positives from their defeat.

This means Kalvin Phillips will likely have to make an impact from the bench as he continues his rocky start for the Irons.

As for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has said that Gabriel Jesus' latest knee problem is still lingering but is likely to keep him out for only a few more days, but is unlikely to be in danger today.

Bukayo Sako is expected to shake off an impact injury from a kick to the ankle, but Oleksandr Zinchenko is nursing a new calf injury and will not take part in this match.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is back from the Asian Cup and ready to play at left-back for the short trip to the London Stadium.

Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber and Fabio Viera are absent from the Gunners for a long period of time.

After his man of the match against Liverpool, Jorginho is likely to team up with Declan Rice in central midfield alongside Martin Odegaard.
