West Ham United host Arsenal in the Premier League this evening…
West Ham United starting line-up: Adrian; Zabaleta, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku; Noble, Obiang; Arnautovic, Lanzini; Antonio.
West Ham United substitutes: Hart, Rice, Collins, Ayew, Carroll, Sakho, Hernandez.
Arsenal starting line-up: Cech; Bellerin, Monreal, Koscielny, Maitland-Niles; Wilshere, Xhaka; Iwobi, Özil, Sanchez; Giroud

West Ham head into tonight’s game having beaten Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday afternoon, which was David Moyes’ first win as Hammers boss.
Moyes can now look to build on that with another home win over a London rival tonight, and he has unsurprisingly named an unchanged side from the one which beat Chelsea just days ago.
Adrian keeps his place in goal ahead of Joe Hart, with a back five of Pablo Zabaleta, Winston Reid, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku in place tonight.
Mark Noble partners Pedro Obiang in midfield, with Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini called upon to support lone striker Michail Antonio in the final third.
Hart is again named on the bench, and is tonight joined by Declan Rice and James Collins, as well as four attacking players in Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll, Diafra Sakho and Javier Hernandez.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are on the road again having drawn 1-1 at Southampton on Sunday, and manager Arsene Wenger has made a host of changes tonight, including switching to four at the back.
Petr Cech starts in goal, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles starting at left back in place of Sead Kolasinac, whilst Nacho Monreal, Laurent Koscielny and Hector Bellerin make up the rest of the defence.
Jack Wilshere starts alongside Granit Xhaka in midfield, with Alex Iwobi, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez all supporting Olivier Giroud in attack, who has been preferred to Alexandre Lacazette.
Lacazette joins Kolasinac on the bench, with David Ospina, Calum Chambers, Mohamed Elneny, Francis Coquelin and Danny Welbeck also named as substitutes at the London Stadium.
