Arsenal can trim the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool down to just four points on Saturday as they welcome West Ham to the Emirates Stadium. Racked by injuries up front, Mikel Arteta's side had to dig deep last time out, before two late goals from auxiliary striker Mikel Merino secured them victory at Leicester.

Arsenal take on West Ham looking to close the gap to Liverpool to just five points and equal the same number of games played before they face Manchester City on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium. An opportunity has opened for the Gunners, but Mikel Arteta needs to focus only on his side's output.

Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League, with Liverpool their main competitor in the race for the title.
