Arsenal take on West Brom at the Hawthorns, having won just one of their last four Premier League games.
Despite games in hand, there’s a gap when it comes to points on the board and the team need to come back to London with all three today.
Here are the official line-ups.
West Brom: Foster; Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Nyom; Livermore, Fletcher (c); Brunt, Chadli, McClean; Rondon
Subs: Myhill; Olsson, Robson-Kanu, Yacob, M Wilson, Leko, Field
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Xhaka, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Welbeck, Walcott, Alexis
Subs: Ospina, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Elneny, Coquelin, Iwobi, Giroud
surely we have another defender?
I think giving them a one player start is dangerous.
Perhaps we should try to sneak an extra one on instead
Like for real, where the fuck is Ozil?!
Didnt you hear?…. “he’s always iiill, he’s arsene wengers man, he doesnt give a damn, weve got mesut ozil”.
I know we’ve criticised the manager but starting with 10 players is a novel approach!!☺
Only ten men? 🙂
Kos you forget kos
Only starting 10 men, it’s an interesting strategy let’s see if it pays off. Who says Wenger doesn’t do innovative tactics.
Finally Wenger shook things up. Starting 10 players is the way to go 🙂
No Özil? Then the win is ours!
Just like the Liverpool and Bayern debacles?
Should win today regardless. Can have no excuses against out of form West Brom side.
I think we can take it as read that neither Perez nor Ozil will be at the club next season. Pity, would’ve liked to have seen Perez given an opportunity.
All about pace with this line up. We really need to start fast and blow them away in the first 25 minutes so we don’t allow their usual slow time wasting tactics. Get the job done early, with this team selection I think it might actually be possible.
Sorry, accidental downvote. Pace is the way to go.
Walcott likes goals against The Baggies. First goal and 2-1 win.
Lucas P(odolski).
10 players on the starting 11 is the best wenger tactic to win away!
Very exciting attacking looking team. Let’s hope they click.
Opinions are great. The internet is great. Supporting Arsenal is great.Pulis is a c#&%. Playing Özil seems not so great. WTF?
Don’t care how unpopular this opinion’s become with some people (how it’s even unpopular pisses me off), Ozil’s an absolutely fucking incredible player and I just want to see him playing again!
Come on Welbz!!
Ozil leaving in the summer?
Injured apparently
Arsenal FC says Ozil and Perez both injured (hamstring and thigh respectively), before anyone jumps to any overblown conclusions
Liking that midfield and attack
If remember rightly, I didn’t see perez in any of the training ground photos yesterday so might have a knock.Ozil was in them
That’s a good line up, more than capable of making Pulis cry. COYG!
We should give it a real go and come back to London with all three points. It’s imperative.
I think we’ve got a potent attack today, we’ll just need to stay disciplined at the back when West Brom are on the ball. The last thing we’ll want is to give away needless free kicks like we have done from time to time this season.
It’s all well and good working on how to defend set pieces, but if you’re making fouls in silly areas of the pitch against teams like this it could be one of those days.
Three points please!
Good to see Elneny back on the bench.
Come on Gunners we need all 3 points today
It’s good to see Arsenal have figured out how to use Xhaka. He needs to CMs in front of him to shield him. He is more like Pirlo than Vidal, unlike his reputation.
I think he’ll benefit from having Chambo and Rambo hassling the opposition midfield.
Love our away supporters…
I see pulis has created another legion of orcs.
The stats at half time say West Brom have only made 4 fouls and us 3. Cam somebody confirm this? Unbelievable
Typical start to a second half, can actually script Arsenal games now. Same shit every time
Ramsey is utter rubbish – both Dawson goals down to him
Yep,can’t pass,can’t defend,can’t run,can’t score goals.
What does he bring to this team
Pathetic. Let’s hear the same excuses from the manager and his supporters.
Just can’t believe they don’t get bored of it.
Thank you but leave.
Glad he realised the big threat they were at set pieces before kick off. Well dealt with, good to have 6f 7″ Per sat on the bench.
Zonal marking don’t help when it gives these big guys a run against static defender’s but Wenger knows best
Our midfield looks like whipped cream. Just end the season already.
Two corners and an individual mistake from Ospina. #BouldOut #OspinaOut
Well thats that then. No top 4. No st totteringhams day. Wenger out.
What a fkin joke. We all know wba stats. Goals from set pieces. Great game to start Giroud who can defend corners better than our defenders can but no. Lightweights welly and wally. Wenger out.
