Predicted West Ham United Line-up To Face Arsenal In The Premier League
West Ham United will travel to the Emirates on Sunday with an aim to upset Arsenal and secure Premier League status.
After the midweek 1-1 draw with Stoke City, the Hammers are now seven points clear of the relegation zone. They are on 35 points now but David Moyes has to get his team to the 40-point mark for survival.
The Hammers are now up against Arsenal, who have had a torrid time in the Premier League this season.
Probable West Ham XI
Manager: David Moyes
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Joe Hart (GK)
West Ham have faced a goalkeeper conundrum this season. Hart has committed several high-profile errors this campaign but should start against Arsenal.
Declan Rice (RCB)
The youngster has been a revelation for the Hammers this term, putting up solid displays as a part of back-three.
Angelo Ogbonna (CB)
Ogbonna is actually having a fine season with West Ham. He will have a task cut out against the strong Arsenal attack.
Aaron Cresswell (LCB)
Cresswell has been utilised as a centre-back by David Moyes and the former Ipswich man has done admirably well.
Pablo Zabaleta (RWB)
Zabaleta has looked like a shadow of his former self so far this season but should continue to get deployed as a wing-back.
Arthur Masuaku (LWB)
Masuaku has been thriving at the left-wing back position due to his attacking nature of play. He will look to create problems for the Arsenal defence with his pace and skill set.
Cheikhou Kouyate (CM)
Kouyate has been a permanent fixture in the West Ham line-up and will be tasked with screening the defence on Sunday.
Mark Noble (CM)
Noble has been an indispensable figure for West Ham. He is neither the quickest of midfielders nor the most technically gifted but knows to utilise his strengths to good effect.
Edimilson Fernandes (AM)
Fernandes has been impressive ever since he got a run of games under his belt.
Joao Mario (AM)
One of West Ham’s January signings, Mario has brought a different dimension to the attack. He is quick, agile and has the vision to find a player from any position.
Marko Arnautovic (ST)
A player reborn under Moyes, Arnautovic has turned up for the Hammers with plenty of goals and assists. He is considered as one of the most inconsistent players in the Premier League but when he is on song, it is difficult for any team to stop him. On current form, he simply cannot be dropped.
