Arsenal squad from: Neto, Raya, Setford; Calafiori, Gabriel, Kacurri, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Saliba, Tierney, Timber, Zinchenko; Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Sterling and Trossard.
Arsenal likely XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling.
Merino excelled off the bench last week as an emergency striker and scored both goals as Arsenal beat Leicester 2-0 at the King Power Stadium.
Mikel Merino is pushing to start in attack when Arsenal host West Ham this weekend.
The Gunners have just three fit forwards at the moment in Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling - which is why Merino played as a No9.
