West Bromwich Albion VS Arsenal
Sunday (30/12/2017)
17:30 (WAT)
Despite struggling at the Hawthorns over the last couple of seasons, Al Hain-Cole expects the Gunners to have little such trouble against Pardew's men
Arsenal will be hoping to avoid an upset when they travel to the Hawthorns to take on recent bogey side West Bromwich Albion in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Gunners have left this ground empty-handed in each of the last two consecutive seasons, as many times as they had over the previous 23 campaigns.


Poor West Brom
Despite their poor recent record at this stadium, Arsene Wenger’s men should not be filled with too much apprehension when they walk out on to the pitch on Sunday.

Having not lost at the Hawthorns in 10 years, it is surely no coincidence that their two consecutive defeats there coincided with Tony Pulis’ two seasons in the home dugout.


While Pulis has a knack for upsetting Wenger’s team that dates back to his time in charge of Stoke City, his successor has failed to oversee a single victory over the Frenchman in the last 12 attempts – losing nine.

Indeed, the former Crystal Palace manager has lost 11 and won none of his last 12 Premier League home matches against the ‘big six,’ making an upset look rather unlikely here.
