Arsenal host West Ham in the Premier League this afternoon hoping to draw closer to Liverpool in the title race.
The Gunners have reignited their title challenge in recent weeks but still trail Arne Slot’s men by eight points after Liverpool drew 2-2 with Aston Villa during the week.
Mikel Arteta’s men are unbeaten in 15 league games since a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle at the start of November. They defeated Leicester 2-0 last time out thanks to Mikel Merino’s late double, and the midfielder may be deployed as striker from the start tod
ay.
