West Brom have been one of the Premier League’s surprise packages so far this season, with Tony Pulis having again worked his magic and lead a relegation struggler into a comfortable mid-table position. They sit eighth heading into the weekend, with their top flight status already well secured. They’ll be looking to cause another upset by beating Arsenal at the Hawthorns.

Though the Gunners still head in as favorites, they have struggled for form recently. They’ve lost three of their last four games in the Premier League, while a 10-2 aggregate thrashing by Bayern Munich in the Champions League has heaped the pressure on manager Arsène Wenger. If he fails to secure a top-four finish this season, he surely won’t last the summer.

Three big things to know
1. West Brom are in a healthy position at present, with no players confirmed as unavailable. However, Pulis is still waiting on the fitness of Matt Phillips and James Morrison, who are both in doubt.
2. Arsenal will certainly be without Mathieu Debuchy, Mohamed Elneny, and Santi Cazorla, who are currently sidelined with injury, while David Ospina and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will both have to face late fitness tests to play. Danny Welbeck should be fit to play after illness.
3. Arsenal’s away form has been a serious cause for concern recently, with the Gunners having won just two of their last seven league games away from the Emirates. Considering West Brom have lost only four of their 14 games in front of their own fans this season, they’ll be confident of picking up at least a point.
