Arsenal v West Brom: match preview

Arsenal v West Brom
Arsenal v West Brom: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

It is unlikely to be the cheeriest of Sunday nights at the Emirates given both sides could be put out of their misery, whether in avoiding the drop or chasing the Europa League, by full time. Sam Allardyce will have West Brom fired up for one last go but Mikel Arteta must raise his troops after the disastrous aggregate defeat to Villarreal. Eddie Nketiah may be among the players who get a chance to convince their manager they still have a long-term future at Arsenal. Nick Ames
