Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the derby clash with West Ham on Saturday.

Unai Emery has lost his first two matches in charge of the Gunners but has no new worries ahead of the London derby.

Laurent Koscielny (Achilles), Sead Kolasinac (knee), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (leg) and Carl Jenkinson (ankle) are missing, while Lucas Torreira pushes for his first start in midfield.

Provisional squad: Fabianski, Adrian, Fredericks, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Diop, Balbuena, Rice, Cresswell, Masuaku, Obiang, Wilshere, Sanchez, Antonio, Yarmolenko, Snodgrass, Arnautovic, Perez, Hernandez, Anderson.
