Arsenal can trim the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool down to just four points on Saturday as they welcome West Ham to the Emirates Stadium. Racked by injuries up front, Mikel Arteta's side had to dig deep last time out, before two late goals from auxiliary striker Mikel Merino secured them victory at Leicester.

Arsenal take on West Ham looking to close the gap to Liverpool to just five points and equal the same number of games played before they face Manchester City on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium. An opportunity has opened for the Gunners, but Mikel Arteta needs to focus only on his side's output.

Arsenal may have found a solution to their problems up top as they welcome West Ham United to the Emirates this afternoon. With Kai Havertz joining Gabriel Jesus in being ruled out for the rest of the season, Mikel Arteta was forced to experiment with his side last weekend against Leicester.
