Report: Sokratis played at right-back against West Ham United as Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta still has concerns over the concentration of Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Arsenal secured their ninth Premier League win of the campaign at the expense of West Ham United on Saturday, with Alexandre Lacazette’s 78th-minute goal making all the difference.

It was another hard-fought victory for the Gunners as they maintained their unbeaten start to 2020 in the top-flight, but Wednesday’s trip to Manchester City will present them with their toughest test yet.

Boss Mikel Arteta will be more than keen to beat Pep Guardiola’s side when he returns to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since his departure as assistant manager last December, and how he sets up his side will definitely be crucial to Arsenal’s chances of shocking City.
