Arsenal Team News & Preview
Arsenal host West Brom in the Premier League this weekend and the Gunners will be looking to get their title challenge back on track with a win.
Arsene Wenger’s men were beaten by Everton and Manchester City in their last two outings and it will be interesting to see how they react against the Baggies.
Since their opening day defeat against Liverpool, the Gunners have been quite impressive at home and are undefeated since August. Furthermore, they have a very good home record against the Baggies and have won their last six home games against them.
Cazorla, Debuchy, Mustafi and Chamberlain are all ruled out for the Boxing Day clash due to injuries.
Predicted Arsenal Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): Cech; Bellerin, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal; Xhaka, Coquelin; Iwobi, Ozil, Walcott; Alexis
