Sports Mole previews the match between Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal entertain West Bromwich Albion on Saturday as they look to secure their first Premier League victory in four games.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger rested several key first-team players for the club's 2-1 defeat to Olympiacos in midweek but it is expected that the majority of them will return for the match with the Baggies.

However, two players that will not feature are Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski, who are both struggling with calf injuries and they could be replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Olivier Giroud.

West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke has seen his side suffer defeats in their last two Premier League outings to fall to fifth place in the Premier League table.

Clarke could recall striker Romelu Lukaku to the starting lineup alongside Peter Odemwingie after the duo began last Saturday's defeat to Stoke City on the substitutes' bench.
