Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion: Squad sheets

This fixture caused a shock last term, as West Brom won at Arsenal, deservedly, with a performance full of punch and panache. For something similar to happen this time, Roy Hodgson needs more belief from his team than they showed in an inhibited display last weekend against Liverpool. "Too much respect" was the phrase that the manager used. Maximum respect is due to Robin van Persie, who will surely be back in the starting line-up, along with fit-again Thomas Vermaelen. Arsenal are hoping to shake off Champions League fatigue and rediscover that Stamford Bridge verve.
