West Brom travel to London to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Baggies will look to win a first match in three at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal are reeling following Thursday night.

A goalless draw at home to Villarreal was not enough to progress to the Europa League final, and questions have been asked regarding the club’s management from top to bottom.

Mikel Arteta has been heavily scrutinised, and the pressure will only increase if the Gunners fail to defeat the Baggies.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match.

When is it?

The fixture will kick-off at 7pm BST at the Emirates Stadium.

How can I watch it?

The match is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event with coverage starting from 6:30pm. Subscribers can stream the match via the Sky Go app.

What is the team news?

Granit Xhaka is in contention to play after missing the draw with Villarreal, while Dani Ceballos is available. David Luiz is unlikely to feature as he recovers from a hamstring issue.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles is ineligible to face his parent club, while Branislav Ivanovic, Robert Snodgrass and Kieran Gibbs are out.

Confirmed line-ups

Arsenal: Leno; Chambers, Holding, Gabriel, Saka; Ceballos, Elneny; Pepe, Smith Rowe, Willian; Martinelli.

West Brom: Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Townsend; Phillips, Yokuslu, Gallagher, Robinson; Matheus Pereira; Diagne.

Odds

Arsenal: 4/9

Draw: 7/2

West Brom: 6/1

Prediction

The Gunners will be deflated after their Europa League exit, but anything less than a win will raise the already intense pressure on Mikel Arteta. The Gunners will get a win here. 2-1 to Arsenal.
