Arsenal travel to West Ham on Sunday as the race for the Champions League continues.

The Gunners are in pole position to secure fourth place, while the Hammers have the second leg of their Europa League semi-final to worry about.

Arsenal are two points clear of Spurs, so their destiny is in their own hands.

They can also match one of Arsene Wenger’s records if they score more than three goals and win.

Following a 4-2 victory over Chelsea and a 3-2 win against Manchester United it will be the first time they have won three consecutive games while scoring three or more goals so since the Frenchman was in charge.

Meanwhile, the Irons might have one eye on Thursday night, so David Moyes could ring the changes.

The Hammers are seventh, eight points behind Arsenal, so their Champions League dreams, through the league, look to have been dashed.

But West Ham have still had a strong season and will want to end on a high, but they do have more important things to worry about.

West Ham v Arsenal: Team news

The Gunners have a slight concern over Bukayo Saka, though Arteta is hopeful he will be involved.

But Takehiro Tomiyasu might finally return from injury against the Irons.

Arsenal will also definitely be without Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney as both have been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.

Meanwhile, the home side have problems in defence, with Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna set to miss the match.

Craig Dawson is suspended after being sent off against Chelsea last weekend, meaning we could see some of the club’s Under-23s get a game.

Also, the likes of Michail Antonio, Declan Rice, Kurt Zouma and Jarrod Bowen could all be rested ahead of the Eintracht Frankfurt fixture.

West Ham v Arsenal: Match Stats
