Yankee Gooner is back and so is Arsenal as the Gunners host West Ham United following a long but entertaining World Cup break.
Here’s my predicted starting XI for today’s match v the Hammers…
[4-2-3-1]
Nketiah
Martinelli, Odegaard, Saka
Partey, Xhaka
Tierney, Gabriel, Holding, White
Ramsdale
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – West Ham United 1
