West Brom vs Arsenal live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV
Arsenal visit West Brom in the Premier League on Saturday evening as Sam Allardyce’s team attempt to set things right following their 5-0 demolition by Leeds on Tuesday.
A bizarre Romaine Sawyers own goal began a thumping at the hands of Marcelo Bielsa’s men, of whom Ezgjan Alioski, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and Raphinha all found the net. That same day, Arsenal secured their second top-flight victory in a row – having previously failed to earn a win since the start of November – as they fought past Brighton 1-0.
For Arsenal, it was encouraging to capitalise on their convincing 3-1 Boxing Day victory over Frank Lampard’s Chelsea, while West Brom moved backwards after Allardyce’s first result in charge – a fine 1-1 draw against league leaders and champions Liverpool.

How can I watch it?
The match will air live on BT Sport 1 HD and BT Sport Ultimate. Subscribers can also stream it live on the BT Sport website and app.
What is the team news?
West Brom will once again be missing the injured Conor Townsend, while Jake Livermore is serving the final game of a three-match ban. Former Gunner Kieran Gibbs is unlikely to feature due to a thigh issue, and Kyle Bartley and Hal Robson-Kanu are also not expected to be involved.
For Arsenal, longer-term absentees Thomas Partey and Reiss Nelson are still not fit enough to return, and Gabriel – who recently tested positive for Covid-19 – will also miss out. Willian and Daviz Luiz are expected to return to the bench at least, however, and the injury Bukayo Saka sustained against Brighton is unlikely to keep him out here.
Predicted line-ups
West Brom: Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, O’Shea, Peltier; Robinson, Pereira, Sawyers, Gallagher, Diangana; Grant
Arsenal: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Tierney; Elneny, Xhaka, Smith Rowe; Saka, Martinelli, Aubameyang
Odds
West Brom: 9/2
Draw: 3/1
Arsenal: 3/5
Prediction
There was little in West Brom’s performance against Leeds to suggest they are going to turn a corner particularly quickly, even after their draw with Liverpool, while Arsenal do seem to be improving after a torrid spell in the Premier League. West Brom 0-2 Arsenal.
