Nuno Espírito Santo takes his West Ham side to the Emirates Stadium for just his second game in charge, facing one of the toughest tests in the Premier League.
The Hammers showed newfound resilience to earn a draw at Everton in his first match. They will need more of the same against the title-chasing Gunners.
West Ham can, however, draw on an incredible recent record at this ground. They are looking to become only the second team in the Premier League era to win three consecutive away games against Arsenal. Their hopes may rest on captain Jarrod Bowen, who is in fine form and scored the winning goal in this exact fixture last season.
