West Ham v Arsenal: match preview

West Ham v Arsenal
West Ham v Arsenal: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

The return of Jesse Lingard should ensure that West Ham offer more in attack after last week’s disappointing defeat to Manchester United. Lingard has been outstanding since joining on loan from United and has regained his spot in the England squad. West Ham, who could draw level with fourth-placed Chelsea, will need the midfielder to shine against Arsenal, who have a short recovery time after beating Olympiakos on aggregate in the Europa League.
