Arsenal vs West Ham LIVE Kick-off time, TV channel, team news ...

Live coverage of all the action from the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal's Premier League clash with West Ham.

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.

There remain major squad issues with hope that Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will return next month at the earliest. For now others need to step up like Mikel Merino did at Leicester last week from the bench.

The question is whether he will be selected to start art home on Saturday. The Hammers and new boss Graham Potter have squad issues with Lucas Paqueta picking up an injury in training, but they will have Evan Ferguson to step up.
