Strike Force:
Olivier Giroud hasn’t cut a promising figure in the past few matches, perhaps lack of rest catching up with the Frenchman. However Giroud will be expected to hold the ball up in the final third and be used as an outlet to ensure Arsenal get the win and the job done against the Hammers. Although Podolski made it to the bench against Chelsea, expect Wenger to use him as a sub later in the game rather than in the starting line-up.
