West Ham, meanwhile, remain desperate for points in their bid to pull away from danger. David Moyes' team claimed a vital 1-0 win at Fulham last week and begin this game three points clear of the bottom three. However, with a tough run-in awaiting them and rivals Nottingham Forest and Leeds United yet to play this weekend, the Hammers are still glancing nervously over their shoulders.

As Mikel Arteta prepares a plan to get around Declan Rice this weekend, he is also preparing a plan to include him next season. The Arsenal manager has already started thinking about the evolution of his team, and the club are currently seen as the likeliest to secure Rice’s signature if he does move.

There have already been back-channel overtures and personal terms are seen as easy to sort. West Ham United are not even getting into a discussion about a sale right now, though, and that’s where the real difficulties will be.

The relegation-threatened club would want at least £100m for Rice, and the possibility of him staying obviously hasn’t been discounted. That position will only be strengthened if West Ham stay up, which makes Arsenal’s visit on Sunday so important to the future for a lot of figures. A home victory would put David Moyes’ side on the brink of survival, such is the congestion in that half of the table. Any win, especially after last week’s victory, now has a disproportionate effect. The flip side is that another defeat might put them right back in it.

This London derby could have huge ramifications at both ends of the table, with Arsenal under pressure at the summit after seeing Manchester City cut their lead to just three points on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's league leaders squandered a 2-0 lead in a 2-2 draw at Liverpool last time out, and another slip-up here would seemingly put City in the ascendency in the title race.
