Arsenal XI vs West Ham United – Predicted lineup and team news Arsenal visit the London Stadium on Sunday, aiming to restore their five-point cushion at the Premier League summit. Mikel Arteta’s side currently hold a two-point lead after Manchester City’s 3–0 victory over Brentford on Saturday evening. The Gunners reached the Champions League final in midweek and now turn their full attention to the title race.
They have won their last two away games against West Ham by an aggregate score of 11–2. A victory today would leave them needing just two more wins to potentially secure their first title in two decades. Arsenal team news Mikel Arteta confirmed that everyone involved in Tuesday’s historic victory over Atletico Madrid is available again.
Bukayo Saka and Ben White will continue to anchor the right side of the attack after their recent returns. The chemistry between the two England internationals has been a vital part of Arsenal’s late-season surge. However, Mikel Merino and Jurrien Timber remain sidelined as they continue to work through their respective recoveries.
The Gunners have been lethal from set pieces this season, scoring 27 times from such situations in the league. Viktor Gyökeres has emerged as a key figure since January, netting nine goals in his last 12 appearances. Myles Lewis-Skelly is expected to keep his place in midfield alongside former Hammers captain Declan Rice.
