It’s a big game for…
Arsene Wenger. The Gunners have been disappointing this season and the Frenchman has earned particular criticism.
A win against West Ham is vital, especially with Burnley breathing down Arsenal’s neck in seventh. If they lose this game, his time at the Emirates may well and truly be over.
Best stat…
Arsenal have dropped 14 points from winning positions away from home in the Premier League this season – the most in the entire league. West Ham have dropped 11.
Player to watch…

60: The two substitutes combine straight away. Manuel Lanzini crosses a deep free kick into the box which is met by Javier Hernandez who tries to guide the ball into the far corner but heads over.
62: Ainsley Maitland-Niles leaves a late foot on Mark Noble and picks up a yellow card.
Arsenal 1-1 West Ham
What a finish from Marco Arnautovic!
63: Arsenal are all over the place at the back as West Ham launch a string of crosses and shots at goal. The ball falls to Manuel Lanzini who does really well to poke the ball to Marco Arnautovic who blasts a powerful shot through David Ospina and into the bottom corner. An emphatic finish which puts West Ham right back in this.
68: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes on for Alex Iwobi. He's not a bad player to bring on when you need a goal.
Arsene Wenger salutes the fans on his penultimate home game as Arsenal manager.
72: Great save!
Granit Xhaka receives the ball on the edge of the area and strikes a low effort destined for the bottom corner but Joe Hart flies across and tips the ball around the post for corner.
From the set piece, Nacho Monreal tries to attack the ball but Hart eventually collects.
74: Booking for Shkodran Mustafi who puts a clumsy challenge on Javier Hernandez.
79: What a save, again!
Danny Welbeck collects the ball on the left of the box, shifts it to his right foot and tries to curl an effort into the far corner. Joe Hart reads his intentions and springs across his goal to tip the ball away. Another great stop from Hart who is having a very good game.
Arsenal 2-1 West Ham
Aaron Ramsey gives Arsenal the lead!
82: Arsenal break forward and Aaron Ramsey collects the ball on the left wing, he cuts inside and curls a cross into the box. Declan Rice is stationed at the front post and ducks under the ball which then curls into the far corner! Joe Hart appears to mouth 'I said away' to the young defender who has just learned a very harsh lesson.
