Team News: Theo Walcott starts for Arsenal

Walcott starts for Arsenal

Theo Walcott starts for Arsenal this afternoon as they host West Bromwich Albion on the final day of the Premier League season.

The versatile England international made a telling impact off the bench in last week's 1-1 draw with Manchester United, but missed out in Wednesday's goalless stalemate with Sunderland.

However, after watching his side fail to score in their last three home games, Arsene Wenger has dropped Olivier Giroud to the bench and named Walcott up top.

Aaron Ramsey and Laurent Koscielny are also named on the bench, with Francis Coquelin and Gabriel Paulista coming into the side in their place.

Meanwhile, the visitors, who beat Chelsea 3-0 on Monday, are unchanged from the side that cruised past the champions.

Saido Berahino continues up top, with Chris Brunt and Callum McManaman entrusted to supply the support to the young England striker.

Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerin, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Gibbs; Coquelin, Cazorla, Wilshere, Ozil, Alexis; Walcott

West Brom: Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Olsson, Lescott; Fletcher, Yacob, Morrison, McManaman, Brunt; Berahino.
