West Bromwich Albion host Arsenal on Saturday (Watch live, 8:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com) at the Hawthorns with the Gunners aiming to keep their top four hopes on track.
Arsene Wenger knows a top four finish is a must, while his under-fire side also have a FA Cup semifinal against Manchester City to focus on next month. It’s not all doom and gloom, right? For the Baggies, they need to get back on track after losing two-straight games after reaching the 40-point marker. Tony Pulis will want a response from his side.
In team news West Brom start with a familiar back four and Salomon Rondon up top.
Arsenal start with Danny Welbeck up top, with Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in support of him. Mesut Ozil isn’t in the squad.
