Arsenal will face West Ham United on Thursday in the premier league. The Gunners are currently leading the league table with 40 points. Although they’re just a point ahead of Liverpool, they have a chance to extend their lead. Mikel Arteta’s men can get the better of West Ham and strengthen their top spot. However, the match isn’t going to be easy for them as well since West Ham can turn any match upside down in the very last moment. In addition to that, Arsenal have to watch out Liverpool as well. Although they played a draw with the Merseysiders, but the Anfield club are drawing blood against each and every team that comes their way.
According to tbrfootball, Mikel Arteta would be looking to increase the confidence of his team for the upcoming matches by winning against West Ham. Moreover, he wants to win the silverware this time. He lost the league title to Man City at the very last moment in the previous season. They don’t want to do that mistake again. Given below is the predicted possible lineup that Arteta may deploy against West Ham United on Thursday.
Arsenal will face West Ham United and here is their predicted possible lineup.
Starting from the back, David Raya will be starting at the goalline for the Gunners.
Left back is to be occupied by Oleksandr Zinchenko, who will pair up with Ben White on the right flank. Both of these wing backs would be looking to cause disturbances for the opponent’s wingers.
Talking about the centre backs, William Saliba and Gabriel would be starting on Thursday. They’re among the best pair of centre backs in the premier league at the moment. Because of them, Arsenal are able to maintain their lead in crucial matches.
Coming to the midfield. Declan Rice would be a sure shot starter as he’s shown why he’s the one of the most reliable players for Mikel Arteta. He would be joined by Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard. Both the later players are crucial for Arsenal as they can make deadly passes to the final third of the pitch. In addition to that, Kai Havertz will also be an option for Mikel Arteta. The German has got back his form recently and can be relied upon by the coach.
Now coming to the forward line. It’s more or less clear since the last few matches. Bukayo Saka will be starting on the right wing and will get the support of Gabriel Martinelli on the left wing. They both would be joined by Gabriel Jesus who’ll be started as a number 9 against West Ham United.
