Fixture: West Ham United vs Arsenal
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)

West Ham United have officially named their team and substitutes to play host to London rivals Arsenal this evening in a Premier League fixture.

The Hammers head into the game having gone five matches without a win in all competitions, though they did score a creditable 1-1 draw last weekend away at Manchester United, which boss Slaven Bilic will hope can boost confidence against the Gunners.




West Ham are without striker Diafra Sakho, who has been ruled out with injury, and Bilic opts to make four changes from the side which played at Old Trafford, with Winston Reid, Edmilson Fernandes, Arthur Masuaku and Ashley Fletcher all being handed starts. Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini will bid to unlock Arsenal's defence, while Mark Noble captains West Ham from his spot in midfield.

On the bench, Bilic has Simone Zaza, Andre Ayew and Andy Carroll if he needs to throw on another attacking option, while Sofiane Feghouli is also available for selection.
