It's a big day for Aaron Cresswell. He will be tasked with shutting down Saka this afternoon.

PAUL PARKER'S PREDICTION
David Moyes was totally negative against Manchester United. His side weren't adventurous. Moyes went to Old Trafford with a negative setup, yet they went to Man City last month and were brave. I didn't understand it. A lot of West Ham fans found it weird. They are hoping he approaches the Arsenal game more like the Man City one and not like Liverpool or United recently.
Arsenal are unpredictable. It was a good performance and a good win for them against Tottenham, but I think West Ham will win.
Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Arsenal
14:07
For Arsenal it is THREE changes this afternoon to the side that beat Tottenham 2-1 last Sunday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Calum Chambers and Pablo Mari are in for Cedric Soares, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel. Bukayo Saka has been deemed fit to start while Aubameyang is back in the XI having been dropped last weekend for disciplinary reasons.
14:03
As you would perhaps expect, Jesse Lingard is back in West Ham's XI after being ineligible to face parent club Manchester United last Sunday. Said Benrahma also comes in.
Ben Johnson and Mark Noble drop out so it is TWO changes to David Moyes' side that lost 1-0 at Old Trafford.
