Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
Past the time added on and Mohamed Elneny replaces Thomas Partey for Arsenal. He won't get a touch.
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
Into the final minute now. Too late for a West Ham comeback even if they scored... And they almost do. Pablo Fornals' curling effort from 20 yards is well saved by the diving Aaron Ramsdale.
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
Gabriel Jesus, in a nice warm coat, is looking on from somewhere on the touchline. Arsenal haven't missed him too much tonight.

Chris: Another Odegaard masterclass pulling all the strings. White also showing why he should have had game time in Qatar. Hitting the 40 point mark to ensure we remain safe in the PL for another season
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta shoots over from outside the box. It's not been great from them.

If Arsenal are lucky with injuries and suspensions from here on in, I can see them winning the Premier League. They play the best all-round football and have the edge you need to see you through the difficult games.

West Ham's Divin Mubama wins a free-kick.
Now the Hammers have a corner. Good defending by William Saliba.

With every game he plays you become more and more mystified as to why Real Madrid let Odegaard leave.

Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
Now an Arsenal change. Gabriel Martinelli is replaced by Fabio Vieira.
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
West Ham bring on teenage forward Divin Mubama for his Premier League debut. Michail Antonio comes off.
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
World Cup finalist William Saliba heads over from Bukayo Saka's cross. It actually comes off Lukasz Fabianski's gloves so it's another corner. This one comes to nothing.
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
Now Bukayo Saka finds Martin Odegaard in the box and the Gunners captain's shot is blocked by the same man, Craig Dawson.
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
Martin Odegaard feeds Bukayo Saka on the right, lovely first touch from the England man but his cross is cut out by Craig Dawson.

Arsenal's football has been a joy to watch at times tonight. There's still time for them to score more I reckon.

Andrew: Each of Arsenal’s front-3 have scored. Odegaard pulling the strings in behind. Xhaka has come alive in his new box-to-box midfield role. Arsenal as a football club have picked up exactly where they left off before the break. They’ve got all the momentum behind them.
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham
A nice give and go between Gabriel Martinelli and Oleksandr Zinchenko and Martinelli flashes an effort across goal.
Now Martin Odegaard curls one wide from 20 yards.

Coufal a yard behind the rest of the defence for the first. Fabianski should be embarrassed by the second. Kehrer turned too easily for the third. No change at West Ham since the World Cup. I hope Arsenal beat City to the league, but tonight is as much about us being poor as it is Arsenal being good.

West Ham bring on Pablo Fornals for Tomas Soucek in the engine room aka midfield.
