Country: Wales
A game we really have to be winning if we want to keep our slim CL dream alive for next year. Also correct me if I’m wrong but this feels like our first Saturday 3pm game of the season.
Arteta rested several key players last night so hopefully the likes of Aubameyang and Pepe will be ready to go.
With a potential re-arranged Man City game coming right after this it’ll be huge to get some points on the board going into that.
Injuries
Torreira (Doubtful but probably out)
Chambers, Cedric, Kolasinac all out.
Tierney and Mustafi doubtful
Team wise I’d probably go with:
Leno
Bellerin - Luiz - Sokratis - Saka
Xhaka - Ceballos
Özil
Pepe - Nketiah - Auba
Hopefully Tierney would be able to feature off the bench and potentially start against Man City.
As for West Ham they’ve been in relegation trouble for a while but they’ve had an upswing in performances, were unlucky to lose against Pool before battering Southampton.
Last week was the first time Moyes went with the front three of Bowen - Haller - Antonio and it looked really dangerous.
Also Fornals has been great the past few weeks, really stepped up for Anderson and Lanzini as the team’s main creator.
