Overview

• The Premier League match is scheduled for Saturday, October 4 at 3pm BST at the Emirates Stadium and will not be broadcast live in the UK due to the blackout.
• Arsenal arrive unbeaten since late August, following a late league win at Newcastle and a midweek Champions League victory over Olympiacos.
• Mikel Arteta said Gabriel Magalhaes will be assessed after training but is not a major concern, with Declan Rice expected to be recalled and Bukayo Saka fit and in line for his 200th league appearance for the club if selected.
• West Ham replaced Graham Potter with Nuno Espirito Santo, who began with a 1-1 draw at Everton, and the Hammers have conceded eight set-piece goals as Nuno acknowledged the issue needs urgent work.
• Arsenal’s set-piece threat under coach Nicolas Jover has been a recent strength, yet West Ham have won on their past two visits to the Emirates and in-form Jarrod Bowen remains a key danger.
