Enduring a woeful start to the campaign, Arsenal dropped as low as to 15^th at a point, and were even touted as relegation candidates. A new low it was for the Gunners, they just couldn’t grab a win to save their lives.

However, the North London club are beginning to regain their footing, and posting some positive results on the board. Heading into this fixture on the back of two consecutive wins, Arsenal will be hopeful of dropping another masterclass to continue their resurgence.

West Brom vs Arsenal Team News

Following a lengthy absence from the Premier League, West Brom earned promotion to the English top-flight last season, and are now competing with the ‘big boys’ once again. In fantastic form in the Championship, the Baggies clinched second-place on the log.

As reward for their fine play that season, they are now plying their trade in the highest echelon of English football this term. Almost midway through the campaign, West Brom find themselves floundering in the drop-zone with a measly eight points to their name.

Flirting with relegation, Allardyce’s men are placed eighth on the table, and a whopping five points adrift of the survival places. In horrific form so far, West Brom have secured only one win in their sixteen fixtures – managing a share of the spoils in five others.

Shambolic on the last matchday, the Baggies were put to the sword by fellow PL newcomers Leeds United. As West Brom failed to cope with the opposition’s high press, Leeds dominated proceedings to put five unanswered goals past Sam Johnstone in goal.

Simply no match for the Whites, Allardyce’s charges could muster only a single shot-on-goal all through the ninety minutes of the game. Off the back of this embarrassing result, West Brom must rally around to put in a much-improved performance against an in-form Arsenal side this weekend.

With the Gunners arresting their November/early-December slump, all those Arsenal relegation talks now seem overplayed. Arteta’s men are back in tip-top form, and on a two-game winning run, including an emphatic 3-1 victory over bitter rivals Chelsea last week.

Though they were made to bend over backwards, Arsenal effectively swept Brighton aside last time out – Lacazette coming off the bench to score the decider. They will be looking to continue building momentum by bagging another three points in this fixture.

Injured or Suspended Players

West Brom: No injuries or suspensions.
Arsenal: Mesut Ozil and Sokratis.

West Brom vs Arsenal Predictions

Despite being mediocre this season, West Brom have proven to be a thorn in the flesh for the Premier League’s top guns. So far, they have held the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City to draws. Also, Man United managed to beat them by a single goal.

This comes to show how stubborn the Baggies can be against the league’s heavyweights – a mix where Arsenal belong to. Nonetheless, given the Gunners’ recent splendid form, we expect them to safely see off West Brom here.
