Arsenal vs West Brom prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?

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.
