West Brom v. Arsenal - My predictions

Gut Feeling: I believe there are a number of young first team players that need and deserve a start against West Brom. I expect the young guns to put on a display against the Championship outfit.

What Arsenal Need: West Brom will try to out-muscle the young Arsenal team, but I hope they stand up tp the physical match which awaits them.

Things To Watch Out For: I'm excited to see Merida and Denilson play. It will also be nice to see Senderos continuing his come back.

Hopes For The Match: My team selection is:

Aliadiere, Baptista



Walcott, Merida, Denilson, Ljungberg



Clichy, Senderos, Connolly, Flamini



Almunia



Obviously Ljungberg and Baptista will only participate if fit, but it would be a good opportunity for them to work on their fitness.

Long-term issues: These are the games where we get to see the Gunners' hopes for the future.

Prediction: West Brom 0 Arsenal 3
