Bilic should drop these 3 West Ham United players against Arsenal

Arthur Masuaku

Although Arthur Masuaku didn’t start on Wednesday night, he replaced the injured Aaron Cresswell at half-time at Old Trafford, and thus played a decent chunk of the contest.

The 23-year-old returned from a knee injury on Wednesday night, and could now be set to deputise for Cresswell at left-back should the England international be ruled out for Saturday’s game.

However, it looks more likely that Edimilson Fernandes will come into the wing-back role as, although both are defensively suspect, Fernandes has had more minutes on the pitch and had more of an impact in that role so far this season.

It’s harsh on the returning Masuaku, as he started the season reasonably well, but a bit more time may be needed for the 23-year-old to get back to full fitness.
