Arsenal take on West Ham this afternoon as their quest to win this season’s Premier League title continues. Ahead of the highly-anticipated clash, Bukayo Saka has dropped a hint at the latest Arsenal team news after removing a player from his FPL starting line-up to his bench.
Mikel Arteta’s side had won seven league games on the bounce before drawing 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.

Arsenal will be without defender William Saliba for the clash, and fans have been led to believe that Oleksandr Zinchenko could be missing too.
Both Ben White and Zinchenko missed training earlier on this week, with the pair taking part in separate gym sessions.

However White was seen in training in the latest pictures from Saturday’s session. However, there was still no sign of Zinchenko. Arsenal winger Saka has also decided to bench the Ukrainian in his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team. This was certainly a hint that the former Man City defender may not be involved at the London Stadium.
Saka made one transfer and vice captained himself.
