Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Emirates Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Arsenal and WBA. The Gunners did well to beat Newcastle United on the road at the weekend, with the team climbing to ninth position in the standings. Mikel Arteta’s men aim to keep their Europa Conference League hopes alive, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against WBA. Alexandre Lacazette is rated doubtful for the game, while David Luiz should be fit to face the Baggies.
WBA, on the other hand, are eleven points behind the safe zone, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for them. Considering that Sam Allardyce’s men are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash, we are positive that the hosts will have a number of opportunities to seal the victory on the break. Serbian veteran Bane Ivanovic remains on the sidelines for the visitors.
