West Ham vs Arsenal, London Stadium Sunday 11 February, 14:00 GMT

Burnwinter

Another slippery must win match awaits us today. Bring it on.

West Ham haven't had a win since they beat us during the Christmas period. Antonio and Paqueta are out for them.

We have doubts over Zinny, Jesus and also Saka. Presumably the latter will start because he always does, and the other two won't because they're usually more injured than you'd think. Tomiyasu is back from the Asian Cup since Thursday.

The papers are predicting we'll go with the line-up vs Liverpool, but with Kiwior at left back. So Jorginho would remain in midfield and Havertz up front.

USArsenal

Saka will start.. Jesus and Zinny will be out. Tommy will be on the bench, so agreed that Kiowir will start. Im ok with the same lineup as Pool TBH.

Don Pacifico

So Kiwior at LB, Havertz back into midfield and Trossard up top. Jesus, Tomi and ESR not on the bench...😕

Bench is pretty dire today.

At least, most of Trossard's best performances for us have come up top.

Burnwinter

Interesting ... we talked about that possible left side triangle of Trossard, Martinelli and Havertz early season. In theory all three players can drift into different roles. Big chance for Trossard to perform as a starter as well. And in other news that's not really news, no Smith Rowe.

I really, really don't like that XI. If Zinchenko is out Jorginho needs to start for me. Bench looks weak as fuck. So disappointed that Smith-Rowe is injured again.

Burnwinter In theory all three players can drift into different roles.

Seems like a recipe for them to end up on top of each other too.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Tross and Kai will alternate positions throughout.

Zinchenko should be on the same bus as Partey this summer.

And Jesus and Tomi too.

Burnwinter

Qwiss So disappointed that Smith-Rowe is injured again.

Is he really? Annoying. We're carrying a couple too many crocks in this squad, once you add them up there's five or six.

It's these kind of games that have shown why we haven't been ready for the big trophies. Need to win today and just get a charge going to keep us in line with city and Liverpool until that late march period where there are many big fixtures.

Don Pacifico

Sky suggesting Trossard in midfield and Havertz at CF...

USArsenal

We need to win today just to show WHU that Rice made the right move. lol.

Jorginho apparently barely trained and is carrying an in injury.

Alvarez with an early booking for hacking down Saka.

Qwiss

Gabriel spot on to have a go at Alvarez there.
