Missing Players and team news:
West Ham are boosted by Jesse Lingard’s return after he missed the defeat to parent club Manchester United last weekend. Fresh off the back of his England return, Lingard will be full of confidence here. Pablo Fornals was also sorely missed against United but his availability is still uncertain as he recovers from a muscle injury. Manuel Lanzini could get a rare start if Fornals fails to recover in time as Moyes is clearly still undecided on Said Benrahma. Look for West Ham to return to a back four on Sunday as the three-man defence simply didn’t work against United last time out and was binned at half-time. Willian is unlikely to feature after missing out against Olympiacos on Thursday with a calf injury. Bukayo Saka was also absent on Thursday as he nurses a muscle injury but the fact he has been called up by England suggests he could make the squad here. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was benched for last weekend’s North London Derby for a breach of discipline but returned to the starting XI on Thursday. It’s unclear if he will start here, as Alexandre Lacazette has played a direct hand in five of his last six starts for Arsenal and was rested in midweek. Hector Bellerin and Cedric Soares are in competition at right-back for the home side, while Mikel Arteta seems happy to rotate between all four of his centre-backs.
