Arsenal and West Ham will lock horns at the Emirates with nothing but victory on their minds. Both clubs changed their coaches during the summer break, and it seems that both sides have struggled to find their best form under new management.
Unai Emery's Arsenal has been handed a tough start of the season. Losses to Man City and Chelsea confirmed their fans' worst fears, but a third loss in a row may set the alarms off. For this game, the Spanish boss will have to deal with four absences due to injury, including Sead Kolasinac, Carl Jenkinson, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Laurent Koscielny, who is expected to return to the pitch until next year.
Regarding the Hammers, Manuel Pellegrini's term as boss hasn't kicked off with the anticipated results. two losses in two games are not what the team's execs expected, and pressure will build up on the Chilean if he can't scratch at least one point away from the Emirates. Winston Reid, Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll are out, while Mark Noble is struggling with a back problem and could also miss this clash.
