West Ham are hopeful Jean-Clair Todibo will shake off an injury scare ahead of Saturday's visit of Arsenal in the Premier League. The centre-back picked up a knock during the win at Newcastle and is now a doubt to face the Gunners. Should he not be passed fit, former Arsenal man Dinos Mavropanos is first in line to deputise.

A busy week in the Premier League title race begins at the weekend when Arsenal take on West Ham United on Saturday evening. The Gunners play three times in the space of eight days as the festive schedule heats up.
