Areola will be the goalkeeper of the team. Wan-Bissaka and Emerson will be the two full-backs of the team. Mavropanos and Kilman will be the two centre-backs for the team. Alphonse Areola has conceded 27 goals and kept 2 clean sheets in 14 matches in the Premier League 2024/2025 season.

West Ham have been dealt a hugely frustrating blow ahead of today’s Premier League trip to London rivals Arsenal. Graham Potter’s West Ham lost 1-0 to Brentford last weekend, meaning the former Chelsea and Brighton manager has won just one of his opening six games in charge of the Hammers.

West Ham already had a few injury concerns in attacking areas, with Michail Antonio, Crysencio Summerville, and Niclas Fullkrug also ruled out of the Arsenal game. Defensively, West Ham are expected to be without Vladimir Coufal. West Ham are unlikely to get much sympathy from Arsenal, considering the Gunners have a very similar list of injuries.

West Ham United will be without star midfielder Lucas Paqueta for at least the next four weeks as he recovers from an ankle injury.
