David Moyes' West Ham pose a considerable threat while on a run of five wins and a lone defeat in their last seven league games, including a 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Saturday.

It has been a bit tougher on the road but the Hammers often rally their best performances against the big guns.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Arsenal vs West Ham is scheduled for an 8:15pm GMT kick-off tonight on Thursday December 28, 2023.

The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium in north London.

Arsenal vs West Ham team news

Mikel Arteta will have to make at least one change with Kai Havertz absent due to suspension.

With the likes of Thomas Partey yet to return from injury, Jorginho, Emile Smith Rowe and Leandro Trossard will all compete to replace Havertz while rotations are possible amid the busy schedule.

Arsenal are still without Fabio Vieira, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jurrien Timber.

West Ham hope to have Nayef Aguerd back from illness, but Maxwel Cornet is a doubt and Michail Antonio (knee) remains sidelined.
