Alexis Sanchez will get the free role behind the top striker, and he will increase his goal tally. Roaming Sanchez and Santi Cazorla/Aaron Ramsey behind the point man will allow the Chilean to express himself and that will be too hot for West Brom to handle. The speed, skills and killer instinct of the 25-year-old is a threat to any opposition, and West Brom will crumble under Sanchez.

4. Arsene Wenger will get fans' reaction

Laurent Koscielny was sighted in training, and though he didn't play a part in the UEFA Champions’ League 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates, he is ready. His availability for the West Bromwich Albion trip this weekend will secure a clean sheet for Arsenal in the match as the confidence and hard work he brings to the team would affect the whole back-line.

After a 2-0 away defeat from Chelsea last week, another tough opposition awaits West Brom in Arsenal. Though many fans would argue that Arsenal is very surmountable with proper tactics and a sound game approach, the potency of the Arsenal attack will blow West Brom away and Arsenal will have the day.
