How West Bromwich Albion could line up against Arsenal

How West Brom could line up against Arsenal

West Bromwich Albion will still be without Robert Snodgrass and Branislav Ivanovic for their trip to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

Snodgrass has not featured for the Baggies since the defeat at Crystal Palace in March as is still recovering from a series of long-standing niggles, while Ivanovic is ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.

Sam Allardyce's side were impressive for long spells in games against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa, despite drawing both matches, and the West Brom boss is unlikely to make too many changes to his first XI as a result.

Defenders Semi Ajayi, Kyle Bartley and Dara O'Shea could start in a back three, with Darnell Furlong and Conor Townsend operating as wing-backs.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles is ineligible to face his parent club, so Okay Yokuslu could be joined in central midfield by Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher.

Matheus Pereira has been West Brom's standout player throughout this campaign, recording nine goals and five assists in the Premier League, and the Brazilian is set to start once again in an attacking midfield role in behind striker Mbaye Diagne.

Callum Robinson could also be handed a start, which could see him play with Pereira in an advanced midfield position, or lead the line with Diagne up front.

West Bromwich Albion possible starting XI: Johnstone; Ajayi, Bartley, O'Shea; Furlong, Gallagher, Yokuslu, Townsend; Pereira, Robinson; Diagne
