Arsenal host West Ham United in the Premier League this afternoon.

Arsenal host West Ham United in one of Arsene Wenger’s final games as Gunners boss today, with the two London sides meeting at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners were stunned when Wenger announced on Friday that he will be leaving this summer, and fans will see him lead his side at home for the penultimate time today.

Wenger has gone with David Ospina in goal, whilst he has named a strong back four of Hector Bellerin, Shkodran Mustafi, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal, despite the upcoming Europa League clash against Atletico Madrid.

Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny start in midfield, with Danny Welbeck, Alex Iwobi and Aaron Ramsey supporting lone striker Alexandre Lacazette.

That means that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is only on the bench, alongside Matt Macey, Calum Chambers, Rob Holding, Per Mertesacker, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson.

Meanwhile, West Ham are still looking for points in their battle against relegation, after coming from behind to pick up a 1-1 draw with Stoke City on Monday night.

The Hammers still aren’t safe yet, and despite a mistake against Stoke, Joe Hard starts in goal, behind a back five of Pablo Zabaleta, Declan Rice, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku.

Cheikhou Kouyate and Mark Noble start in midfield, with Joao Mario and Edimilson Fernandes supporting striker Marko Arnautovic.

Manuel Lanzini is only on the bench, and is joined by Adrian, Josh Cullen, Patrice Evra, Javier Hernandez, Andy Carroll and Jordan Hugill as David Moyes’ men remain entirely unchanged.
