WEST BROM v ARSENAL
Saturday 21st November 2015 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
West Brom succumbed to two defeats on the trot leading into the international break with losses suffered against Leicester City and Manchester United as The Baggies sit in a relatively comfortable league position of 13th place.
Nevertheless, West Brom’s form at The Hawthorns has been pretty poor as they’ve gained just the one win so far this season, and that was only against Sunderland who currently sit second from bottom in the Premier League.
West Brom’s overall home record stands at 1-1-4 7/12 and have lost already to Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton and Leicester City – all teams (bar Chelsea!) sitting in the top half of the division. With this in mind, West Brom’s form at home against top half opposition reads a very poor 0-1-3 4/9.
Arsenal make the trip up to the west midlands on the back of a point against North London rivals Tottenham just prior to the international break, but The Gunners remain unbeaten in their last six matches overall, having won five of these encounters.
Wins against Leicester City 5-2 along with victories over Manchester United, Watford, Everton and Swansea City have stamped their authority on the division, and they deservedly sit joint top with Manchester City ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures.
Arsenal also possess a strong away record of 5-0-1 14/5 while keeping three clean sheets to date, and they’ve won three of their four encounters away at bottom half opposition so far this season.
Quite simply, Arsenal should have way too much quality and firepower for their hosts this afternoon, and should also cover the -1 handicap too.
Pick: Arsenal AH-1 @ 1.85 bet365
