Arsenal vs. West Ham lineups, team news
Arteta made six starting changes for the win over Olympiacos and he will rotate again to keep his squad fresh.
Gabriel was withdrawn in the closing stages, but Arteta indicated post-game that he expected the Brazilian to be okay to face West Ham, with Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafori set to return at full-back.
Martin Odegaard's superb performance in midweek should keep him in the starting XI with Declan Rice to be recalled alongside the Norwegian.
Saka looks fit to start, but Arteta faces a selection headache on the left of his attack, with Martinelli battling Eberechi Eze.
Arsenal predicted starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori — Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice — Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli
Injured: Jesus (ACL), Havertz (knee), Madueke (knee), Hincapie (groin)
Suspended: None
Nuno praised the grit of his new team in battling back to land a draw at Everton last time out, and the visitors may be unchanged.
Czechia international Tomas Soucek remains out, as he serves the final game of a three-match ban, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka sidelined with a stomach issue.
West Ham predicted starting XI (4-5-1, right to left): Areola (GK) — Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf — Bowen, Fernandes, Magassa, Paqueta, Summerville — Fullkrug
Injured: Wan-Bissaka (stomach)
