2012-12-08 - Arsenal FC vs West Bromwich Albion

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Arsenal goes into this match without a win in their last four games and a surprise defeat at home against Swansea.

Arsenal have been hugely inconsistant so far this season, a fact that's been underlined in their home games where big wins over Southampton (6-1) and Tottenham (5-2) have contrasted the dropped points against Fulham (3-3) and Swansea (0-2)

Visitors West Bromwich are currently riging high in fifth spotwith 26 points, with the majority of points being earned at the hawthorns where West Brom have six home wins from eight games.

The Baggies have recent suffered back to back defeats in their last two games against Swansea and Stoke City, and will be keen to get back to winning ways.

Having beaten the likes of Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea, West Brom cannot be taken lightly but the visitors goes into this clash knowing that they have never kept a clean sheet in 12 Premier League games against Arsenal.

Team News :

Arsenal Team News :
Arsene Wenger will definitely be without forwards Lukas Podolski (hamstring) and Theo Walcott (calf).

Defender Bacary Sagna (foot) is a major doubt, but Laurent Koscielny (thigh) is certain to miss this match as well.

Meanwhile, full-back Andre Santos (stomach muscle) and midfielder Abou Diaby (thigh) continue to recover from their injuries.

West Brom Team News :
West Brom boss Clarke has virtually a full squad to choose from ahead of this match. Goalkeeper Ben Foster is the only absentee as he continues his rehabilitation work after undergoing a second groin operation, which means that Boaz Myhill will continue in goal.

Clarke also has the option of recalling the likes of striker Peter Odemwingie and midfielders James Morrison and skipper Chris Brunt as they were rested against Stoke last weekend.

Predictions :

Go for Arsenal to win by a couple of goals and give away the -1 ball handicap here.
