West Ham United are set to welcome Arsenal to the London Stadium on Saturday.

The Hammers are in buoyant mood after sealing a huge 2-0 win over Newcastle United, courtesy of goals from Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

West Ham will look to build on that performance, but they face an in-form Gunners team who are firing on all cylinders.

Chris Sutton believes the Irons will lose the home contest, but the quality in their ranks suggest they can spring a surprise against the title contenders this weekend.

Predicted West Ham XI vs Arsenal 

With two clean sheets in two games, Lukasz Fabianski is a guaranteed starter between the sticks. Alphonse Areola is available for selection, but the Frenchman will have to contend with a place on the bench.

Lopetegui may be forced to make a change in defence, with the Hammers sweating over the fitness of Jean Clair-Todibo. The centre-back’s injury isn’t serious but question marks remain over his availability.

Konstantinos Mavropanos has been far from convincing, but he will likely be given a chance to prove a point against Arsenal. The Greece international will partner Max Kilman in central defence, with Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri playing on the flanks.

Carlos Soler justified his starting role on Monday and should join Lucas Paqueta and Soucek in the centre again.

With Mohammed Kudus still suspended, Crysencio Summerville is expected to keep his starting berth after a spirited display against Newcastle.

With Danny Ings as their only alternative and Niclas Fullkrug still injured, Michail Antonio will once again spearhead the attack.

West Ham Predicted XI: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Soucek, Paqueta; Bowen, Soler, Summerville; Antonio
