Arsenal is preparing for a crucial match against West Ham United this Sunday as they strive to secure the Premier League title, trailing just two points behind the current leaders, Liverpool. The team’s recent 3-1 triumph over Liverpool has firmly placed them back in contention for the title, but they must remain focused to sustain their momentum against West Ham.
The Gunners have suffered two defeats at the hands of West Ham this season, including a 3-1 cup loss at the London Stadium. Nonetheless, their impressive performance against Liverpool has prompted manager Mikel Arteta to reconsider team selection for the upcoming matches.
Following their victory over Liverpool, there are two players who have garnered attention and may have earned their place in the starting lineup for the West Ham clash.
Jorginho, the seasoned midfielder, played a pivotal role in controlling the game’s tempo against Liverpool. His composure in possession and ability to evade Liverpool’s press were fundamental to Arsenal’s victory. Arteta lauded Jorginho in his post-match press conference, describing him as an astute player capable of enhancing the performance of those around him.
Another player who made a strong impression was Jakub Kiwior, who replaced the injured Oleksandr Zinchenko during the match. Kiwior delivered an impressive performance at left-back, holding his ground against Liverpool’s attacking threat. His display may have secured him a spot in the squad for the upcoming clash with West Ham.
As Arsenal continues their quest for the Premier League title, the inclusion of these two players could prove pivotal for the team’s success. With their newfound momentum and confidence, the Gunners are eager to maintain their form and secure a crucial victory over West Ham.
