Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made two changes to the starting line-up for today’s Premier League derby against West Ham United on the road.
The Gunners are currently on a three-match winning streak in the top-flight and will be aiming for another victory to close the gap to the top to two points.
Ahead of today’s game, the manager has made a couple of changes from the impressive 3-1 win over Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.
Jakub Kiwior has come in the left-back spot with Oleksandr Zinchenko missing out with an injury.
The Poland international had a solid second-half performance against the Reds and he came on the cusp of scoring a brilliant goal from a Martin Odegaard cross.
He has been rewarded with a league start. Takehiro Tomiyasu is nowhere in the squad despite returning from international duty with Japan earlier this month.
Elsewhere in midfield, Jorginho has dropped to the bench despite his man of the match showing.
Kai Havertz will partner Declan Rice in the centre of the park with Leandro Trossard getting the nod to lead the line. Havertz and Trossard could interchange positions.
Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs West Ham: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Havertz, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Trossard.
