West Bromwich Albion vs Arsenal
Competition – Barclays Premier League
Stadium – The Hawthorns
Date: 31st December 2017
Kick-off time – 16:30 GMT
Despite naming a new manager in Alan Pardew, West Brom’s fortune has not changed as they remain without a win in their last 19 competitive games.
Their drab draw against Everton on Boxing Day shows how much needs to be done at the Hawthorns especially in their attack.
They come into this game in 19th position and they know they have to start winning games if they want to avoid relegation this season.
Arsenal will be delighted by the poor form of the Baggies as they visit the Hawthorns for this game.
They come into this game off the back of yet another thriller having won 3-2 at Crystal Palace after their 3-3 draw with Liverpool.
62 goals have been scored in their games this season making the Gunners one of the few teams who are always involved in high scoring encounters.
Although they won away at Palace last time out, the Gunners have undoubtedly struggled away from home this season.
Alexis Sanchez is also gradually coming out of his shell, netting twice against Palace which means he now has 7 league goals this season.
The Gunners have won all but two of their last meetings with West Brom.
