The Gunners will try and regain the initiative over Everton in the Premier League table with a match against West Ham United on Tuesday night.
The north London club are in fifth place in the table two points behind their rivals for the fourth Champions League spot next season. Arsenal host mid-table West Ham at the Emirates Stadium knowing a win would move them back above the Toffees. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger could have trio Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Wojciech Szczesny back in the starting line-up after they missed the FA Cup semi-final win over WiganHowever, he will probably hav to do without Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski who are doubtful.
Meanwhile, West Ham boss Sam Allardyce knows his side are safe and is just keen to pick up as many points as possible before the end of the season.
He may well have to travel to the Emirates without captain Kevin Nolan who has a hamstring problem and faces a late fitness test.
The Hammers have a poor record against Arsenal in recent seasons, having lost their last six successive games. They have also only scored one goal in their last five visits to the Emirates.
