Arsenal vs West Ham: Preview
Arsenal were able to find a solution to their problems up top last weekend as Mikel Merino came off the bench to score two late goals against struggling Leicester. The Spaniard proved to be a genuine goal threat and took both his chances with consummate ease.
With Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus ruled out for the rest of the season, Arsenal may well need Merino to deliver, especially as Leandro Trossard struggled to influence the game when playing as a false nine. Despite their injury concerns, the Gunners have been excellent in the league and will want to gain a victory to heap pressure on league leaders Liverpool, who play Manchester City later the same day.
West Ham also have issues in attack as they have struggled to score goals in recent weeks. The Hammers have failed to win any of their last four games, scoring just twice and have slipped to 16th in the Premier League table.
Manager Graham Potter has not been helped by injuries to key players in forward positions and has found it tough going since joining the London club. He’ll hope to turn things around soon but will expect an extremely tough challenge at the Emirates.

Arsenal vs West Ham team news
Mikel Arteta has few options in attack after a raft of injuries to forward players. In addition to Havertz and Jesus, Arsenal will also be without Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli as both are recovering from injuries and are not expected to return until the middle of March.
That means Merino may well start as a number nine, with either Trossard or Raheem Sterling on the left. Ethan Nwaneri is certain to keep his place on the right of a front three after producing another stunning performance in the win over Leicester.
The Gunners will also be without defender Takehiro Tomiyasu who remains unavailable having managed just six minutes of football this season. The right-back could be set to undergo knee surgery and is unlikely to feature again in this campaign.
West Ham also have limited options in attack, with Michail Antonio out for the season and Crysencio Summerville out with a thigh issue until at least April. Striker Niclas Fullkrug is also a doubt due to injury, while Lucas Paqueta picked up a knock in training and may not be fit enough to start.
Defender Vladamir Coufal is also out with a thigh injury. However, there is some good news for Potter as attackers Jarrod Bowen and Mohamed Kudus are both fit to start.
