Arsenal have doubts over the fitness of Jack Wilshere in their first game since manager Arsene Wenger announced he would stand down at the end of the season.
The midfielder missed last weekend’s defeat at Newcastle with an ankle injury that could again leave him on the sidelines against David Moyes’ men, but Aaron Ramsey is available after suffering a deep gash to his calf against CSKA Moscow on April 12.
Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Bellerin, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Xhaka, Willock, Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Iwobi, Welbeck, Lacazette, Nketiah, Aubameyang.
Joe Hart could pay for his latest mistake when West Ham travel to the Emirates Stadium.
The goalkeeper’s blunder gifted Stoke a goal in Monday’s 1-1 draw and boss Moyes admits he has a decision to make, with Adrian waiting in the wings.
James Collins is not ready to return from his hamstring injury.
Provisional squad: Hart, Adrian, Ogbonna, Rice, Cresswell, Evra, Masuaku , Zabaleta, Noble, Kouyate, Fernandes, Lanzini, Mario, Arnautovic, Hernandez, Carroll, Hugill.
