Team news
Arsenal's Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss the rest of the season after having knee surgery.
The fit-again Ben White could make his first appearance since November, while Mikel Merino might come into the starting line-up after scoring twice as a makeshift striker at Leicester, but Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are all unavailable.
West Ham will be without Lucas Paqueta for several weeks after he injured his ankle in training.
This match is likely to come too soon for Vladimir Coufal, who is nursing a hamstring issue.
Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio all remain sidelined.
