Arsenal return to the Premier League this weekend as they face a short trip to play against West Ham United.
The Gunners come off the back of a 5-1 win in the Champions League against Ruben Amorim’s former team Sporting CP which handed Mikel Arteta‘s side their second win in a row.
Before that, they beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the Premier League leaving them nine points away from league leaders Liverpool.
This weekend provides a chance for Arsenal to either leapfrog Manchester City or gain ground on Liverpool as the two title rivals face off on Sunday afternoon.
They face a West Ham side who come off an impressive 2-0 win against Newcastle United at St James’ Park which eased some of the job pressure on Julen Lopetegui.
The Gunners have a relatively fit squad as they could only miss up to three players with Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu ruled out. Defender Gabriel is a doubt after picking up a knock against Sporting CP on Tuesday.
