West Ham United vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

To the relief of Arteta, Saka returns to the fray and jogs back towards his spot on the right wing. Meanwhile, West Ham are readying some more substitutes.

In Saka's absence, Arsenal restart play with a corner-kick from the left, which is hacked away by Paqueta. West Ham then survive another corner - the Gunners' ninth so far.

SAVE! First, Odegaard's shot from 20 yards out is parried away by Fabianski, then Saka tries to shoot moments later. However, his attempt is partly blocked and he stays down hurt on the wet turf. The game is halted while the medics run on.

Providing they don't collapse during the final-half hour, Arsenal can go second outright until tomorrow, at least. Victory here would also cut Liverpool’s Premier League lead to six points.

Paqueta plays a straight ball into the feet of Antonio, leaving the striker with few options. He manages to turn on the edge of Arsenal's area, though, and fires a low shot a few feet wide of the left-hand post.

Saliba stops Bowen with a deliberate clip of his opponent's ankle, and he can consider himself fortunate not to receive a bboking. Nothing comes of the free-kick, as Bowen eventually lashes a hopeful 25-yard shot high over the crossbar.

Emerson again struggles to keep Saka at bay near the touchline, but Timber is ultimately caught offside and Arsenal's latest attack ends. The away side have made 37 final-third entries compared to their hosts' tally of 14 so far.
