Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal. The first-division clash scheduled for 7:45 a.m. ET will be held at The Hawthorns in West Bromwich and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Irvine (via the Express and Star): "It's important we have lots of good players and if teams can get through us, it is nice to know that we have a top goalkeeper."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via the Guardian): "[Wojciech] Szczesny hasn't trained. Mikel Arteta is out and Yaya Sanogo has problems. [Danny] Welbeck will be checked. He had a swollen knee, so he wasn't available for Dortmund. [Theo Walcott] has a groin problem that he came back from England with. He is not available. We have been unlucky with injuries. What can you do about it? Not a lot."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Jack Wilshere succumbing to injury (ankle), the defensive responsibilities in the midfield fall on the shoulders of Mathieu Flamini. In nine league appearances, the 30-year-old is averaging three tackles and 2.9 interceptions.
West Bromwich Albion's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Foster; Baird, Lescott, Dawson, Gamboa; Morrison, Gardner; Dorrans, Sessegnon, Brunt; Berahino
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-1-4-1): Martinez; Gibbs, Monreal, Mertesacker, Chambers; Flamini; Sanchez, Cazorla, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Giroud
