Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger once again kept faith with Italian youngster Vito Mannone in goal for this afternoon’s Barclays Premier League clash at West Ham.

Experienced Spaniard Manuel Almunia, fit again following a virus, had to be content with a place on the bench for the third match in a row, with the Gunners looking for a fifth straight league win.
