Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – David Raya – needs better communication with his backline following the mix-up with Saliba for Liverpool’s goal last week. West Ham will try to put him under pressure from corners.
RB – Ben White – had a good game defensively against the Reds and will be looking for more of the same at the London Stadium.
CB – William Saliba – has made a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes in his last two games and he will want to put in a solid display this weekend.
CB – Gabriel – was unlucky to score an own goal against Liverpool. He has been very consistent in recent months.
LB – Takehiro Tomiyasu – the Japanese international has returned from the Asian Cup and he could replace the injured Oleksandr Zinchenko.
