West Brom v Arsenal Betting Preview – Premier League 18th March 12.30pm
Not an easy game for the Gunners out on the road. Arsene Wenger’s men start the weekend five points out of the top four in the Premier League but they do have games in hand. They will have to make those count at some point, but first things first, they have to try and find a way to win at the Hawthorns. The Gunners have won just one of their last six away games in the top flight and they will face a West Brom side who have been pretty resilient and reliable on home soil this season. Can the Baggies heap more misery on Wenger’s season by cashing in three points?

West Brom v Arsenal Betting Tips
West Brom will be looking to shake themselves back up after having suffered back to back Premier League losses. They have been a very good home side this season though in the top flight where they have posted a W8 D2 L4 record which is nothing to be sneezed at and they have won seven of their last nine there. They will be looking to reverse a 1-0 defeat at the Emirates against Arsenal on Boxing Day last year but they have never ever managed a Premier League clean sheet against the Gunners. Both teams to score in the fixture at Coral is trading at a price of 3/4. Baggies boss Tony Pulis has form against Arsenal as well because he has lost only one of his last six home games against the Gunners in the top flight (W3 D2 L1) and is unbeaten in his last four. West Brom have gone W1 D2 L1 in their last four home games against the Gunners. A 1-1 correct score at Coral returns a price of 13/2. The Baggies may well have enough to give Arsenal a pretty rough afternoon on Saturday.
Over 2.5 goals at Coral is a price of 4/5 and that’s a good punt considering that West Brom have averaged 1.7 goals per game at the Hawthorns this season. Arsenal are slumping badly at the moment with just a W1 D1 L4 record in their last six away games in the Premier League and they have lost three of their last four home and away, conceding seven goals in that sequence. Just to highlight how much of a dip in form they are on, prior to this they had lost only 3 of 32 Premier League games. They have held their own, by and large, against West Brom though as they have lost one of their last 12 league games against them in a W9 D2 L1 sequence. Olivier Giroud has three Premier League goals against West Brom and he is a price of even money in the anytime goalscorer market. Alexis Sanchez is 11/10. There should be goals in this with Arsenal having only failed to score in one away game this season. But with the Baggies in great form at home this season, Wenger’s men aren’t going to have an easy afternoon.

West Brom v Arsenal Predictions
Match outright draw: The draw has big appeal in this one. The Baggies have only lost one of their last four on home soil against the Gunners and will put up a good battle against a side who are looking pretty flimsy out on the road. The Baggies should have enough resilience to hold out for a share of the spoils in this one.
