Gabriel update, Hincapie latest: Arsenal injury, suspension list vs. West Ham
Arsenal have a home hoodoo to end in Saturday’s Premier League fixture, as the Gunners welcome London rivals West Ham United to their Emirates home.
Mikel Arteta’s men have lost their last two at home to the Irons without scoring, but the hosts have rediscovered that winning feeling ahead of the all-capital clash.
Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League triumph over Olympiacos made it three wins on the spin for the Gunners, who left it very late indeed to edge out Newcastle United 2-1 in Premier League action last weekend.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the visit of West Ham, who drew 1-1 with Everton in Nuno Espirito Santo’s first game as head coach on Monday.
