West Ham United host Arsenal to kick off the Premier League weekend, with Samir Nasri set to face his former club at the London Stadium.
The Gunners have reacted well to their 5-1 defeat at Liverpool, winning both games by a three goal scoreline against Fulham and then Blackpool in the FA Cup.
West Ham came from two goals down to grab a draw against Brighton last week, with their week being dominated by the future of Marko Arnautovic.
These sides met earlier in the season at the Emirates, with the Gunners winning despite being a goal behind in North London.
Team News
Samir Nasri is set to make his first Premier League appearance since August 2016, with the former Arsenal midfielder making his Hammers debut in their win against Birmingham in the FA Cup.
Marko Arnautovic should be fit for the Irons, despite being taken off with an injury early in that game.
Arsenal defenders Laurent Koscielny and Hector Bellerin are set to be available after respective back and calf injuries.
Shkodran Mustafi and Nacho Monreal could also be recalled after recovering from hamstring problems.
The Managers
West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini: "This year we have demonstrated that we can play as a big team against any team.
"We play for three points from the final whistle, and we will do so again against Arsenal.
"I insist on the big team mentality because we are in a big club with 60,000 people behind us and we want to improve.
"As a team we want to work better than we did in the first half of the season and to do that we have to beat the top clubs."
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery: "I think West Ham are improving and they also have good individual players with quality, like (Felipe) Anderson, like Arnautovic, who are very good players.
"Usually (Manuel Pellegrini has) very offensive teams. They usually play matches with a balance tactically but above all with technical, offensive players."
