West Brom Vs Arsenal Preview: Keep It Up, Gunners
By Brian Wong
After the game midweek it seems like Arsenal is finally starting to steer their bus in the right direction. Yet there are so many things that can make me say Arsenal is not going to be much better this weekend. For starters, Arteta is out AGAIN, Walcott is still out, and one week after I claimed Wilshere was finally playing better, he is INJURED AGAIN. The amount of players on this team that are injured or keeping re-injuring themselves is crazy and unbelievable. However, the one thing that we can all enjoy after that game is an Arsenal defense that has finally kept a clean sheet. That doesn’t mean this defensive unit is suddenly good, it just means they finally got a break and may gain some momentum.
Prediction: West Brom 0-1 Arsenal
1) Sanchez again
It seems like Alexis Sanchez is a reason why I think Arsenal can win every week. But can anyone blame me? Sanchez has been playing at a superb level, and so there is no reason to believe that he won’t keep scoring. Against West Brom I think it will be a safe bet, Sanchez will make a huge impact and if I had to bet I’m sure he will have his foot on every Arsenal attack.

2) The Ox
At 21, Chamberlain is showing all of us that age is only a number. He is clicking on all cylinders, and every time I watch him play there is always a few moments of pure beauty. He is not only skilled, he is also strong, fast and has great vision. I love watching him play and I honestly think with Chamberlain and Sanchez we have an absolutely amazing pair of wing players.
3) Wenger’s Tatics
It seems like Arsenal’s midfield takes a blow every week, and with Wilshere’s newest injury Wenger is going to have to change the players role. Wenger has been criticized a lot lately and I don’t blame supporters for being mad at him, but I still have faith in Wenger and I hope he can change things up a bit and make this team play better in League games.
