Midfield

CM – Jorginho – deservedly won man of the match last Sunday and he has done more than enough to keep his place.


There could be an argument for putting a more attack-minded player in midfield, such as Emile Smith Rowe or Kai Havertz, but the Italian should help the Gunners keep control of the game against West Ham.

CM – Declan Rice – the midfielder has lost his first two games against his former club and he will be looking to put that right.

AM – Martin Odegaard – it was an improved performance against Liverpool from the captain and he will be aiming to be just as creative this weekend.
