Arsenal vs West Ham LIVE: Confirmed line-ups; Premier League latest score, news & updates

Arsenal welcome London rivals West Ham to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger announced on Friday that he will step down from his role at the Premier League club at the end of the season after almost 22 years at the helm.

Wenger, 68, led the club three Premier League titles, including going unbeaten for an entire season, seven FA Cups and took Arsenal into the Champions League for 20 years in a row.

The Gunners are a distant sixth in the league, 14 points adrift of fourth-placed North London rivals Tottenham with five games remaining.

Meanwhile David Moyes’ West Ham are 14th in the table, seven points above the relegation zone.

TWITTER ROUND-UP

Alan: Arsene Wenger was born to manage Arsenal (just look at his name too!). He did what he was destined to do and even went an extra mile. I will miss the man. Change is good but memories last forever.

Dan: All this Arsene Wenger love on Sky Sports and from Arsenal fans. It wasn't five minutes ago they were slating him and hounding him out of the club.

Patrick: Selling Alexis to rivals to ensure that Spurs’ trophyless period continues? Arsene Wenger, he’s done it again.

Good to see Arsenal fans didn’t enjoy Manchester United beating Tottenham at Wembley yesterday too much…

Updates from our reporter Matt Dunn, at the Emirates Stadium.

12:28: Arsene Wenger’s comments from today's programme: "I'm sure you are all aware that, after careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season.

"I do not want to say too much now, but as I said on Friday I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club with full commitment and integrity for so many memorable years.

"For now there are still seven football matches to play this season - hopefully eight if we can triumph over Atletico - and my immediate thoughts have to be about these games, starting with West Ham today.

"It's been good for us to have a week's recovery time..."

Business very much as usual then in Wenger's eyes.

AFTERNOON

12:25: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League.

Have you been watching those maniacs running the London Marathon?

I’ve just seen a couple of people dressed as Minions and another in the biggest Rhino outfit you’ve ever seen!

I will donate £10 and that’s mainly so nobody ever asks me to run the gruelling 26.2 miles myself. Ever.

Anyway, nestled between the Marathon and the FA Cup semi-final is Arsenal’s clash with West Ham at the Emirates Stadium.

The build-up to this one has been dominated by the news that Arsene Wenger's reign at Arsenal has come to a close, ending a spell of over 21 years as the club's manager.

We’ll talk about that and have the line-ups for you any moment now.

ARSENAL vs WEST HAM

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.

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 David 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.
