Anderson To Start, Haller On The Bench: West Ham’s Predicted XI To Face Arsenal

Anderson To Start, Haller On The Bench: West Ham’s Predicted XI To Face Arsenal

Most West Ham supporters would like manager David Moyes to pick the same team that started the 3-1 win against Southampton at the weekend, but the Scot may tinker with the starting line up for the game at the Emirates.

The backline of Lukasz Fabianski, Jeremy Ngakia, Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna and Aaron Cresswell is likely to stay unchanged.

In midfield, Pablo Fornals’s performance versus the Saints should be enough to keep him in the eleven ahead of Manuel Lanzini, with Declan Rice and Mark Noble also keeping their places in the middle of the park.

However, in the front three, Moyes may look to change things despite the likes of Sebastien Haller, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen playing so well last Saturday.



Moyes decided to start Antonio up front against Liverpool, and the Hammers boss may opt for the same ploy versus the Gunners, to provide the side with more pace and work rate centrally. Felipe Anderson could come in to replace Haller and start on the left-hand side, with Bowen on the opposing flank.

West Ham’s Predicted XI To Face Arsenal:

Fabianski, Ngakia, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Fornals, Noble, Bowen, Antonio, Anderson
