Team news: Tierney returns for West Ham away

Kieran Tierney is back in the starting XI for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham.

Coincidentally, the Scotland international's last league start arrived in our 3-1 home victory over the Hammers on Boxing Day, and he replaces Oleksandr Zinchenko who drops out through injury as a precaution (tight groin).

Mikel Arteta's frontline has been given a welcome boost, however, with Eddie Nketiah returning to our matchday squad after missing the past seven games. William Saliba remains out with a back injury.

Other than Tierney's return, it’s the same side that drew 2-2 with Liverpool last week, meaning Rob Holding partners Gabriel in defence and we have a front three of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka.
