Preview: Arsenal vs. West Bromwich Albion

Arsenal vs. West Brom

Arsenal will secure fourth position in the Premier League table with a win over West Bromwich Albion on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners are currently four points clear of Everton with two games to play, and even if the Toffees beat Manchester City on Saturday evening, the North London outfit will earn a Champions League spot with a victory against the Baggies.

Manager Arsene Wenger is unlikely to make any changes to the side that beat Newcastle United 3-0 on Monday night.

West Brom head coach Pepe Mel saw the pressure ease at The Hawthorns last weekend when his team recorded a 1-0 triumph over West Ham United.

That result has left the West Midlands side a win away from safety, but with the club four points clear of 18th position, Mel would be delighted with a point at the Emirates Stadium.

The Spaniard could include midfielder James Morrison from the start after the Scotland international came off the bench shortly after half time last week.
