Arsenal predicted lineup for West Ham clash: Walcott and Koscielny return but Giroud banned

LB) Kieran Gibbs

Nacho Monreal will be kept on the bench if needed for central defensive cover so Gibbs should start once again from left back.

CM) Mathieu Flamini

Flamini looked more composed in midfield against QPR, but perhaps that says more about the opposition than his form, however he did manage to stop a late QPR effort on the line.
