Thursday evening’s Premier League action comes from the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal face West Bromwich Albion.

Arsene Wenger’s side go in to the game knowing that defeat would end their ever-so-slim chances of landing a first title in twelve years while even a draw would leave them needing nothing short of a miracle to triumph.

They will also have one eye on the sides below them, with Liverpool, West Ham United and Manchester United heaping on the pressure in the race for a Champions League place after all securing convincing home wins on Wednesday evening.

Aaron Ramsey, Per Mertersacker, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud could all be recalled for the game though Jack Wilshere is still not ready for a first team return despite turning out for the Gunners’ youth side this week.

Giroud is favourite to open the scoring at 4.5 (7/2) with a variety of firms with Alexis Sanchez a 5.5 (9/2) chance with Betfred.

The home win is widely available at 1.29 (2/7) with the visitors as highly priced as the 13.0 (12/1) on offer from several firms. The draw can be backed at 6.1 (51/10) with 888 Sport.

The Baggies are without a victory in four, though a return to winning ways here would guarentee thier Premier League status for another season.

They currently sit on forty points, ten clear of eighteenth place Sunderland who have a game in hand on the sides around them though neither Norwich City or Newcastle United could catch Tony Pulis’ side if they take the spoils here.

Saido Berahino is expected to again lead the line despite missing two penalties in Saturday’s defeat to Watford though Alex Prtichard is doubtful and James Morrison misses out.

Berahino is 13.0 (12/1) to get the first goal of the game with a mumber of bookmakers with Salomon Rondon a 15.0 (14/1) chance with Paddy Power.

West Brom ran out 2-1 winners when the sides met at the Hawthorns back in November, and you can back both teams to score this time around at 2.25 (5/4) with Bet Victor.
