• Arsenal are second in the Premier League table, two points behind Liverpool

• West Ham are down in 19th position with just one win from six matches

• Recommended bet: Kyle Walker-Peters to get a card

Arsenal will look to move top of the Premier League when they welcome struggling West Ham to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners are two points behind leaders Liverpool, who travel to Chelsea later in the day, so a victory for Mikel Arteta's side would put the pressure back on the Reds.

West Ham's new era under Nuno Espirito Santo started with a 1-1 comeback draw at Everton on Monday, but the former Nottingham Forest boss knows an improvement will be required for his side to get anything from this contest.

Team news

Arsenal remain without the services of Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke, who are not expected back until late November or early December, while Gabriel Jesus is sidelined until the New Year.

Piero Hincapie is still suffering with a minor groin problem and is expected to miss out, but Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka are all set for recalls after starting on the bench in Wednesday's win over Olympiacos.

The Hammers could welcome back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has been missing with a stomach issue, but Tomas Soucek is unavailable as he serves the third and final match of his suspension.

The stats

Arsenal have collected 13 points from their first six league fixtures (W4 D1 L1).

The Gunners are unbeaten at home in all competitions this season, beating Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos to nil and drawing against Manchester City.

Arteta's side have scored in second-half stoppage-time in three of their last four assignments.

West Ham's first match under Nuno ended in a 1-1 draw at Everton, with Jarrod Bowen cancelling out Michael Keane's first-half header.

The Hammers' sole win this term was a 3-0 success at Forest, a club Nuno was in charge of at the time.

West Ham have won on their last two visits to the Emirates, recording 2-0 and 1-0 victories.

Prediction

West Ham are still a work in progress under new manager Nuno, who has had little time to work with his squad since being appointed last Saturday and this trip to Arsenal will likely end in disappointment.

The Gunners are set for another campaign challenging for silverware on multiple fronts and another win at the Emirates, where they are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, could be on the cards.

It is set to be a difficult afternoon of defending for the Irons and there looks to be a strong chance of some cautions being dished out, with West Ham receiving four in the draw against the Toffees.

Full-back Kyle Walker-Peters picked up his first yellow of the season in game, as he was overzealous one too many times when trying to nullify the threat of Jack Grealish.

With Arsenal boasting the pace and trickery of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Saka, Walker-Peters could find his name being taken for a second game in a row.
