Declan Rice returns to the London Stadium this afternoon as Arsenal travel to take on West Ham United in the Premier League.
West Ham go with Alphonse Areola in goal behind what appears to be a four-man defence.
Vladimir Coufal and Emerson Palmieri are the full backs with Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd in the middle of the back line.
Edson Alvarez will anchor the midfield with James Ward-Prowse and Tomas Soucek able to get forward a little more.
Ben Johnson continues out wide with Mohammed Kudus on the other flank, supporting Jarrod Bowen up top.
Former Arsenal duo Lukasz Fabianski and Konstantinos Mavropanos are both on the bench alongside Aaron Cresswell, Kalvin Phillips, Maxwel Cornet, Danny Ings, Angelo Ogbonna, Divin Mubama and Oliver Scarles.
Arsenal have David Raya between the sticks as usual with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes as the two centre backs ahead of him.
Ben White starts at right back with Jakub Kiwior on the left side of defence with Oleksandr Zinchenko unavailable today.
Declan Rice starts against his former club and Kai Havertz, who started up front against Liverpool last week, drops into midfield alongside Rice and Martin Odegaard.
Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli continue down the flanks with Leandro Trossard given the nod to lead the Arsenal attack this afternoon.
That means Eddie Nketiah is only on the bench today, joining Aaron Ramsdale, Cedric Soares, Reuell Walters, Mauro Bandeira, Mohamed Elneny, Jorginho, Reiss Nelson and Ethan Nwaneri.
