Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side face another big test when West Ham United arrive at the Emirates for a midweek affair tonight.
Declan Rice will face his old club once again and Arsenal will look to avenge a recent Carabao Cup exit at the hands of their London rivals.
That being said, Arsenal will have to assess the form and fitness of a few individuals given the festive schedule.
Arteta’s side have had a relatively light run, however, we are still expecting the Arsenal manager to give one man a rest when West Ham come to visit.
Kai Havertz is suspended for the game, and that could also present a big opportunity for Emile Smith Rowe.
The Hale End star has rarely started for Arsenal in the league in recent memory, and he does have a considerable shout tonight.
