Arsenal XI vs West Ham: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Premier League

I would like to be emailed about offers, event and updates from Evening Standard. Read our privacy notice.

Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Martin Odegaard could all start together for Arsenal for the first time when they host West Ham on Saturday.

Injuries have prevented the trio from playing together from the off, but Mikel Arteta could unleash them against the Hammers.

Gabriel came off early with a knock against Olympiacos, but Arteta said after the game that he thought the Brazilian was fine.

“I think he’s going to be okay,” he said. “He felt something, I think it was a kick, I’m not sure, in the first half, and he was a bit uncomfortable, and towards the second half he was there.

“He could carry on, but we decided not to take any risks, really, because he’s played a lot of games. He comes from a long-term injury as well, and we need to look after him.”

Declan Rice will return to the midfield after being rested on Wednesday and coming off the bench for the final 30 minutes.

In attack, Viktor Gyokeres is set to lead the line as he looks to end a run of five games without a goal.

Eze and Saka should be used on the wings, coming in for Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze

Doubts: Gabriel

Injured: Havertz (knee), Hincapie (groin), Jesus (knee) and Madueke (knee)

Time and date: 3pm BST on Saturday, October 4, 2025
