Both of these sides suffered midweek defeats in the EFL Cup but Arsenal will be confident of maintaining their title challenge. News that Santi Cazorla requires surgery on an ankle injury is a blow but Arsène Wenger’s side have not lost in the league since the opening day, while West Ham are a point above the bottom three. Although Andy Carroll is available, Aaron Cresswell and Michail Antonio are out. Jacob Steinberg
