Arsenal suffered through another 10-man, finish-challenged disappoint as Graham Potter's West Ham United picked up a 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

So Mikel Merino starts after his super-sub appearance off the bench against Leicester. He replaces Raheem Sterling in attack, joining Ethan Nwaneri and Leandro Trossard. The other change sees Riccardo Calafiori replace Myles Lewis-Skelly at left back.

Arsenal lost for the first time in over three months and now Liverpool could go 11 points clear atop the Premier League if they beat Manchester City.
