GABRIEL SCORES! Saka hangs another corner into the box and this time, it’s half-cleared by West Ham. Martinelli recycles it by lifting it into the far post and Gabriel stoops to head it on goal. It’s straight at Fabianski, but it hits the keeper’s leg which helps it over the line. 2-1 Arsenal!
Bowen is chasing down a long ball over the top and Rasmdale came rushing out of his box. He goes sliding in and Bowen just manages to avoid getting caught by the keeper’s studs. Ramsdale wasn’t anywhere near the ball there.
BLOCK! It’s a lovely low cross in from Fornals on the right and Benrahma reacts quicker than Tomiyasu to reach it. He takes it around the right-back but then fires his shot straight at Holding.
West Ham get us back underway for the second half!
38’
HOLDING SCORES! It’s a much better delivery from the corner this time as Saka hangs it up in the middle of the box. Holding outmuscles Lanzini and leaps higher than everyone else to head it past Fabianski. 1-0 Arsenal!
BLOCK! It’s a wonderful pass from Fredericks out to Coufal, who has space down the right. His low cross takes two deflections on its way through to Lanzini, who hits the shot first time, and Holding throws himself in front of it.
CHANCE! Coufal’s cross is half-cleared by Martinelli and Fornals chests it away from Xhaka with his first touch. He lets it bounce before firing a half-volley towards goal but it’s always rising over the bar.
Odegaard gets the game underway for Arsenal!

West Ham vs Arsenal LIVE: Team News
Craig Dawson‘s suspension, Angelo Ogbonna‘s lengthy recovery and Issa Diop‘s ankle issue have severely depleted Moyes’s options in the heart of defence, but Kurt Zouma made a quicker-than-expected recovery to play the full 90 against Frankfurt.
The Frenchman needed treatment towards the end of the contest but is unlikely to be rested given Moyes’s lack of options in that area, and Dawson’s suspension could see Ben Johnson move next to Zouma as Vladimir Coufal returns at right-back.
Nikola Vlasic and Andriy Yarmolenko should also be considered for starting roles as Moyes prioritises the second leg in Frankfurt, while ex-Gunner Lukasz Fabianski will replace Alphonse Areola in goal.
ARSENAL TEAM NEWS:
As for the Gunners, Arteta is reportedly expecting Bukayo Saka to be fit and well for the London derby, with the 20-year-old back in training alongside his teammates after being taken off against Man United.
Saka’s return would leave Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey as the Gunners’ only two absentees, with Takehiro Tomiyasu coming back as a late substitute against the Red Devils, but Arteta may be reluctant to throw him back in from the start just yet.
Mohamed Elneny has filled in admirably alongside Granit Xhaka and should start again here, and Arteta may also opt to utilise Gabriel Martinelli‘s pace and directness against a jelly-legged West Ham defence.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Fabianski; Coufal, Johnson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Yarmolenko, Vlasic, Benrahma; Antonio
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah
