Team News: Shane Long starts for West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich Albion will start with Shane Long as a lone centre-forward against Arsenal.

The Republic of Ireland international will be supported by Jerome Thomas and James Morrison, who have been handed advanced midfield roles.

Visiting manager Arsene Wenger has kept faith with goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski, while Gervinho has once again been selected to partner Olivier Giroud up front.

West Brom: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Yacob, Brunt; Dorrans, Morrison, Thomas; Long

Arsenal: Fabianski; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky; Cazorla, Gervinho, Giroud
