The midfielder will make his first appearance at the London Stadium since making his £105million switch to the Emirates in the summer.

Who is gonna win it?
Never easy to predict a London derby, is it?
Unfortunately for me (a Chelsea fan) I know this all too well, having seen my side beaten 2-0 by Brentford at the weekend…
Declan Rice will no doubt have a point to prove against his former side tonight, and a class showing from him will set the tempo for Arsenal's success if things go according to the script.
Eddie Nketiah will be hoping to be among the goals once again, before a tough trip to Newcastle at the weekend.
So, who do you think will win? Have your say on our poll…

Rice returns
You will be hearing Rice, Rice Baby tonight at the London Stadium, that is for sure.
Of course because English superstar midfielder Declan Rice is returning to the club and stadium where he made himself known.
Uncertainty surrounds how he will be received by the Hammers' faithful, but he will surely be hoping for a warm reception.
Rice was a star for West Ham, and bought them in over £100m when they sold him in the Summer, so who can complain at that?

Jesus to return in December
Well, where have we heard that before?
All is not as it seems though, as this time we are on about Gabriel Jesus, not the one from the bible.
Now it is being reported that the Brazilian striker could be out with an injury until December, following a period of time already being on the sidelines
Tonight, he definitely won't be involved, and we could see hat-trick hero Eddie Nketiah lead the line for the Gunners again.
