Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Arsenal could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka is expected to be fit for Sunday's Premier League derby with West Ham United at the London Stadium.

The 20-year-old was taken off early in the 3-1 win over Manchester United but has been pictured in training with his teammates and should be fine to line up from the off here.

As a result, Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey should be the Gunners' only two absentees this weekend, with Takehiro Tomiyasu coming on for the final few moments against the Red Devils.

Mikel Arteta may avoid throwing the right-back in from the start just yet given his lengthy layoff, so Cedric Soares could start once again as Tomiyasu builds up his game time as a substitute.

Nuno Tavares truly had a mixed bag during the win over Man United but is set for another start at left-back regardless, while Mohamed Elneny is sure to join Granit Xhaka in the middle after two impressive showings.

Saka will take his rightful place in attack alongside Martin Odegaard if he is fit enough, and the pace and intensity of Gabriel Martinelli could come in very handy against a depleted and jelly-legged West Ham defence, so the Brazilian may start over Emile Smith Rowe.

Only against Southampton (seven) has Alexandre Lacazette been involved in more goals for Arsenal than against West Ham (six), but the Frenchman has seemingly ceded his spot to Eddie Nketiah before the duo leave as free agents.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah
