West Brom vs Arsenal, 8pm uk GMT
A new year begins, and certain clubs will hope for some much-needed upturn in fortunes with it. As games continue to come thick and fast in the Premier League, Game-week 17 has begun. And, two teams that are in desperate need of an upswing in fortunes meet at the Hawthorns on Saturday night, when West Bromwich Albion will play hosts to Arsenal.
West Bromwich Albion have been quite hapless in the first three months of the 2020/21 season. Back in the Premier League after securing automatic promotion from the Championship last term, the Baggies have struggled to give a good account of themselves, winning just one game till date. Their latest result saw them being trounced 5-0 by Leeds United, leaving them five points adrift of safety.
Arsenal, like West Brom, have endured a season from hell so far. The Gunners have picked up a mere 20 points from their first 16 Premier League games, which has left them languishing at 13th on the table. This has been contributed by their inability to score goals consistently and, therefore, string together a positive run of results. However, Mikel Arteta & co. come into the game on the back of successive wins to end 2020.
Prediction: Arsenal win BTTS @11/4
