Arsenal are enduring a pretty awful start to their season, but they have a good chance to improve things this weekend when they host West Brom.

The Gunners have picked up just seven points from their opening five games, although they did manage an encouraging draw with Chelsea last Sunday.

The Baggies have been their usual, steady selves so far this campaign, only losing once and amassing eight points so far.

Tony Pulis’ side beat Arsene Wenger’s men last time they met so will be confident of causing another upset.

Team news

Arsenal will be without the in-form Danny Welbeck who suffered a groin strain against Chelsea on Sunday.

Wenger also remains without Santi Cazorla, Calum Chambers and Francis Coquelin, although Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott should return from their respective knee problems.

Tony Pulis is relatively care-free when it comes to fitness issues as the trio of Chris Brunt, Oliver Burke and Nacer Chadli should all be back from their muscle problems.
