Arsenal will be eyeing up a fourth straight Premier League win when they welcome a struggling West Ham United side to the Emirates on Saturday.
With Liverpool still comfortably ahead in the title race, all Mikel Arteta's men can do is keep on winning to maintain that pressure on Arne Slot's men, and that is what they did last weekend, thanks to a 2-0 victory at Leicester City.
Injuries have hit at the worst possible time, though, especially in attack, with Arteta needing to use Mikel Merino as an out-and-out striker at the King Power, but that worked a treat, as the Spaniard netted a late double to seal the three points.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with West Ham, who have won just once in six games since appointing Graham Potter at the start of the year.
