West Ham XI vs Arsenal: Confirmed lineup, team news and latest injuries for Premier League match tonight

Jack Rosser @JackRosser_15 December 2021

West Ham remain without Aaron Cresswell for tonight’s Premier League clash with Arsenal.

The full-back, who was forced off at Manchester City with a back issue and has not been able to play since, has been a key figure in the club's rise to European contenders.

Moyes said that the 31-year-old was "touch and go" for the trip to Burnley on Sunday, where he was eventually absent from the travelling squad.

The Hammers boss could not say whether Cresswell would feature against the Gunners this evening and instead continues with Arthur Masuaku at left-back.

"I think we've got people who've got injuries," said Moyes, who started Arthur Masuaku at left-back on Sunday. "We're hoping Cressy's got a chance and we're pushing hard for him to be ready for the game.

"At the moment we have no Covid in the camp but we don't feel that we're any different to any other football club in that it could happen to us. It's a real tough shift to play three games in six days - it's not easy."

West Ham XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Masuaku; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio.

Subs: Areola, Alese, Ashby, Kral, Noble, Okoflex, Vlasic, Yarmolenko, Benrahma.

Date: Wednesday December 15, 202, 8pm GMT

West Ham squad from: Fabianski, Martin, Randolph, Areola, Diop, Dawson, Alese, Baptise, Ashby, Coufal, Masuaku, Longelo, Rice, Soucek, Noble, Kral, Vlasic, Yarmolenko, Fornals, Lanzini, Benrahma, Bowen, Antonio, Perkins.
