Declan Rice returns to West Ham this afternoon as Arsenal aim to maintain their Premier League title push with victory - but his presence at the London Stadium will shine a light on the form of opposite number Kalvin Phillips.
Rice has become a key figure at the heart of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal midfield since his £105m move across London, but at West Ham boss David Moyes is trying to find solutions to fill the void.
West Ham put the Rice money towards midfielders Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse and Mohammed Kudus in the summer and that trio of signings have all impressed
However, there is now focus on Rice's England team-mate Phillips, who joined the Hammers on loan from Man City in January and could go up against his international colleague.
It has been a challenging start for Phillips, who has made mistakes which have led to goals in both of his two appearances so far. Moyes says the 28-year-old must rise to the challenge - but says he'll give him the time and opportunity to do so.
