West Brom boss Sam Allardyce set to ring the changes against Arsenal

West Brom boss Sam Allardyce is expected to make changes for the visit of Arsenal.

The manager questioned his players’ commitment following the 5-0 home defeat to Leeds on Tuesday and Filip Krovinovic, Matheus Pereira and Branislav Ivanovic could return.

Kieran Gibbs is a doubt with a quad injury after pulling out of the warm-up ahead of the Leeds defeat and Jake Livermore serves the final game of his three-match ban.

Bukayo Saka is expected to be fit for Arsenal’s clash at West Brom with boss Mikel Arteta set for a selection headache.

The teenager was forced off late on during Tuesday’s win over Brighton where Alexandre Lacazette scored off the bench after he reported a sore back.

The pair should be fit to start at the Hawthorns while David Luiz and Willian (both illness) may be available, but Thomas Partey (thigh) remains absent along with Gabriel (coronavirus) and Reiss Nelson has a minor muscle injury.

West Brom provisional squad: Johnstone, Button, Bond, Furlong, Gibbs, Ajayi, Ivanovic, Peltier, Kipre, O’Shea, Bartley, Phillips, Diangana, Pereira, Grosicki, Field, Harper, Krovinovic, Gallagher, Sawyers, Robinson, Austin, Grant, Edwards.

Arsenal provisional squad: Leno, Runarsson, Bellerin, Maitland-Niles, Chambers, Luiz, Mari, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Tierney, Saka, Ceballos, Willock, Elneny, Xhaka, Smith Rowe, Willian, Pepe, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Martinelli, Nketiah, Balogun.
