Arsenal fans including myself were fairly optimistic heading into today's clash with West Ham, but that optimism slowly turned into nerves ahead of kick-off.
The Gunners arrived at the London Stadium in good form after beating Chelsea and Manchester United in their last two games. West Ham meanwhile found themselves enduring a mixed run of form and recently lost 2-1 in the Europa League semi-final first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt.
David Moyes' side travels to Germany next week for the crucial second leg decider, leading to many believing he would name a significantly weakened starting eleven. However, that didn't quite turn out to be the case as the likes of Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen were included in the team.
