Arsenal vs West Brom live stream: Watch Premier League online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal welcome the defensively staunch West Brom to the Emirates in need of three points. Here are all the match facts and how to watch.
Arsenal find themselves in the odd position of being behind West Brom in the table as they go into the match with the Baggies. The Gunners have had their problems this year putting together a cohesive attack and, as such, they find themselves a whole 14 goals behind Manchester City at the top of the table.

And the Baggies won’t make it easy to make up that ground, as they have surrendered just four goals on the year, three of which were in one match.
Still, the Gunners should have plenty of confidence coming of an oddly exhilarating and somehow satisfying draw at Stamford Bridge. It was clear that the visitors were the dominant team in that match and, if they carry that same domination into a home match up against West Brom, who are going to allow them plenty of possession, then there should be plenty to be optimistic about.

In terms of team news, the Gunners will be without Danny Welbeck, their leading goal scorer, as he injured his groin against Chelsea. But that is their only major absence to the first team.
The question on everyone’s mind is what that front three will look like, because it’s a crapshoot as of late. Mesut Ozil returned to first team training, but we don’t know if that means he’s back to full health and ready to start, as he was unable to do against Chelsea, or if he will start the match on the bench, seeing as how there “is no hierarchy.”
The same goes with Alexis Sanchez, although it’s pretty much impossible to believe that Wenger would start both of his superstars on the bench. That is, unless he opts to play Olivier Giroud, Alexandre Lacazette and Alex Iwobi, which would upset more than a lot of people.
West Brom will be bringing Kieran Gibbs back to his long-time home, but there is no reason to expect anything other than a rousing round of applause.
Three points are needed without exception. With all the other results in, the Gunners can move to six points from the top, which is at least within striking distance.
