After being in outstanding form before the break for the World Cup, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will know that getting a win against West Ham tonight in their first game back is vital in order to maintain momentum.
The Gunners will be without Gabriel Jesus, which is undoubtedly a major blow, and they will need other players to step up to the mark in the coming weeks.
West Ham won’t make things easy this evening, with David Moyes’s side likely to sit deep and play on the counter-attack, so Arsenal will need to be switched on, especially early in the match, to ensure they secure the three points.
