Arsenal fans have mixed feelings as Takehiro Tomiyasu starts but defender misses out vs West Ham

Wolves' defeat yesterday means Arsenal can guarantee a top-six finish and European football if they beat West Ham this afternoon, as Mikel Arteta's side continues its push for Champions League qualification.

The Gunners head to the London Stadium in good form following two huge wins against Chelsea and Manchester United. Meanwhile, West Ham find themselves in a different situation, with a crucial second leg Europa League tie awaiting them at Eintracht Frankfurt next week.

Despite that, David Moyes is fielding a strong side that includes the likes of Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen. Arteta meanwhile has been forced to make a change at the back due to Ben White having a tight hamstring. Rob Holding replaces him while Takehiro Tomiyasu starts at right-back. The only other change is in attack, where Gabriel Martinelli has come in for Emile Smith Rowe, who is named on the bench.
