Arsenal: latest team news

Having been tested at various points by a West Ham team battling for survival, Arsenal ultimately escaped the trap with the slimmest of margins, securing a 1-0 victory to keep their Premier League title destiny firmly in their own hands. While the VAR-disallowed goal for the Hammers deep into added time sparked considerable debate across the Channel this week, Arsenal remains laser-focused on their paramount national objective.

Manager Mikel Arteta has typically favored consistency in his starting lineups throughout recent matches, but defensive issues have necessitated changes. This trend is set to continue following Ben White’s knee injury against West Ham, which unfortunately rules him out for the remainder of the season and could impact his international prospects. On the left flank, Ricardo Calafiori also had to withdraw at the London Stadium, leading to expectations of a defensive lineup featuring Hincapié and Mosquera on the wings. Vital in midfield, Rice had shifted into White’s position against West Ham, prompting Arteta to reconsider his selections as the Gunners’ balance seemed to suffer without the English international’s usual presence.
