Arsenal will be looking to maintain their good run of form with a win against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday evening.
Mikel Arteta’s side have won their last two Premier League matches and will be determined to pick up all three points against West Brom away from home at The Hawthorns tonight.
Arsenal boss Arteta is unlikely to make too many changes to the team that started against Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday evening.
Emile Smith Rowe is likely to retain his place in the Gunners’ starting lineup against West Brom.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder – described by former Leicester City right-back Danny Simpson as a “serious serious baller” on Twitter on December 3, 2020 – will be in charge of creating chances.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is likely to start on the left and Bukayo Saka on the right, with Alexandre Lacazette leading the line.
The French striker scored against Brighton in the 66th minute after coming on as a substitute just 29 seconds earlier.
Arteta subsequently told HaytersTV that the striker “has been working really hard”, and the Spaniard is likely to recall him to the starting lineup against West Brom.
This is how Arsenal could start against West Brom:
Predicted Arsenal XI: Bernd Leno; Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, Pablo Mari, Kieran Tierney; Mohamed Elneny, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Alexandre Lacazette
