Predicted Arsenal Starting XI To Take On WBA
Arsenal travel to the Midlands on Sunday to take on West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns looking to cement their position at the top of the table.
The Gunners head into the game in superb form, sitting top two points clear at the top of the Premier League following a 2-1 win away at Swansea City last weekend.
Arsene Wenger’s men also put in a stunning display to see-off Napoli 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night so you’d expect the Frenchman to make limited changes to his line-up this weekend.
He will be forced into at least one change though, with right-back Bacary Sagna ruled out for three weeks with a hamstring strain picked up in midweek, so Carl Jenkinson will come in at the back.
The only other change I would like to see is Jack Wilshere replace Tomas Rosicky in attack. The Czech international made his first start in a month against Napoli but looked rusty so I’d prefer Wilshere to start and bring Rosicky on in the second half.
Otherwise it should be the same team that put in the excellent performance on Tuesday night. Here is the line-up I’d go with:
What do you think of the team? What would your preferred line-up be?

I prefer jack nd rosisky to start while we shift flamini to de right back becos of injured sagna, Daido Beh dats de winner against Man. U has more speed nd pace so I dont think Carl can handle him well or Varminator shld be given a start whiles we play Koser at de right back.

I also prefer Rosisky to start ahead of Wilshere coz when Rosisky is on his form the guy is good but also i consider his age he can’t play 2 games in a week so Wilshere can start and search for his form and help everybody to feel accomodated.

Carl Jenkinson will do ok….no worries. I feel we need Flamini in the team though especially because of West Brom’s physical style of play. I don’t think Ramsey does well on the flanks though… In any case Arsenal to win 3-0 in this game.

I think Wilshere would start. He didn’t play in midweek and with the recent media frenzy about the cigarette incidence, i think he needs to feel the support of his manager and belief of the club in his footballing qualities cos putting him on the bench may not help his confidence. By the way who suggested to give Flamini a rest? Have you seen that guys stats this season? Flamini is the beast in arsenal’s midfeild at present and “resting” him would be criminal in my opinion!!

Good line up buh I think Gnarby to start from d right flank and Flamini,Ramsey n Arteta should be incharge of d Defensive midfield by two of them to start n one to come in in d 2nd half depending on d situation of d game

Arsene should know werther he goin’ to play the winning team or rotation squad. Arsene should know every squad members fitness. Our team is on fire and with our best confidence of play, I won’t mind if Arsene play the rotation squad and bench some star like Ozil or Giroud. With any neccessary tactics, I’m sure we are goin’ to get 3 points to secure top of the league.
