The predicted Arsenal team to start against West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon at the London Stadium
Arsenal take on West Ham on Sunday afternoon, looking to secure the biggest three points of their remaining games. The Hammers are scrapping for points, hoping to pip Tottenham Hotspur to Premier League survival, and the Gunners might end up doing their bitter rivals a favour should they win.
Mikel Arteta has many questions to answer regarding his team selection as we enter this hectic stage of the season. That said, Arsenal no longer have any midweek games to contend with, while their title rivals Manchester City must play Crystal Palace and Bournemouth in the final two midweeks of the season.
Equally, now Arsenal are preparing for a UEFA Champions League final against PSG. Arteta faces questions of whether he should rotate and not give much away to Luis Enrique, or instead practice his best eleven going into the game.

Here is who football.london predicts will start for Arsenal:
David Raya
A golden glove is now guaranteed for the Spaniard after Donnarumma conceded three against Everton earlier in the week. But he can guarantee a solo victory by keeping one more in the final three games.
Ben White
It is tempting to give White a rest for Mosquera, but with no sign of Jurrien Timber returning, allowing the White-Bukayo Saka connection to flourish is likely the best option.
William Saliba
The Frenchman made just the one mistake in what was a glorious performance against Atletico Madrid and will need to be on it once again.
Gabriel
The Brazilian has been a standout in these closing stages of the season, and put on another gargantuan display on Tuesday night.
Piero Hincapie
One key change with Jarrod Bowen, the key threat for The Hammers, sees Piero Hincapie replace Riccardo Calafiori to offer some great security on the left defensively.
Declan Rice
The midfielder has now seemingly locked in this new, deeper midfield role, allowing his partner to push higher up, and it could be a change that wins the club a couple of big trophies.
Myles Lewis-Skelly
The newfound midfielder for the Arsenal starting eleven, and until he shows otherwise, Mikel Arteta has little option but to select him, leaving Martin Zubimendi on the bench.
Eberechi Eze
Martin Odegaard may have returned to fitness, but he has to now earn his place back in the starting eleven and was excellent coming off the bench this week. The place for now is unequivocally Eze’s.
Bukayo Saka
Back to his best and in the team to win the games early before earning a well-deserved rest, hopefully, more goal contributions in the first half here too.
Viktor Gyokeres
The form has finally come for the Swedish striker, who has the support of Kai Havertz too if needed, as he aims to break records for his first season with The Gunners.
Leandro Trossard
Another player who has rediscovered his best for the club and could be a difference-maker as the season finishes.
