Arsene Wenger has opted to start Olivier Giroud as the striker while Jack Wilshere starts for Arsenal as they take on West Ham United.
As was predicted by many, Alexandre Lacazette makes way for Olivier Giroud up front for Arsenal while Aaron Ramsey’s injury sees Jack Wilshere finally start a Premier League game in an Arsenal shirt after a long gap.
