The Gunners are failing another season. In the last round Arsenal hosted Burnley at home and could not justify the status of the favorite, having suffered a defeat with a score of 0:1. In addition to the impotence in the attack, the London club also had problems with discipline. For unsportsmanlike behavior at the beginning of the second half, Granit Jaka got a red card. Now one of the key players in the middle of the field will miss three matches. Hector Bellerin is also serving a suspension. In addition to the abovementioned players, Tomas Partey, Mesut Ozil and Sokratis Papastatopoulos will not play due to injuries. David Luis, Riss Nelson and Sead Kolashinats were damaged. Their participation in the match is in question. The tournament situation at Arsenal is deplorable. After losing to Burnley, the ambitious club dropped to 15th in the standings, being just five points ahead of the relegation zone. In the current championship the Gunners have proven that they absolutely cannot play in a positional attack. In home games, Arsenal have to act first and the attack looks toothless. For the four previous matches in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta’s wards have scored only one goal at home, losing to far from top rivals. In addition to Burnley, they also lost to Leicester (0:1), Astor Villa (0:3) and Wolverhampton (1:2). In general, Arsenal’s attack is now one of the weakest in the Premier League. The Gunners scored just ten goals in 12 matches. This is the fourth result from the bottom.
Blackbirds in the current championship are fighting for registration. The team is settled at the bottom of the standings already from starting rounds and still cannot get out of there. Currently West Brom with six points in the asset takes the penultimate place. The situation is not so critical, because the team is only three points behind the saving 17th position. Slaven Bilic’s charges played poorly in the last six-round period of the season. Even despite the fact that during this period they managed to achieve their only victory in the championship so far. The Blackbirds managed to beat Sheffield United outsider with a score of 1:0 in the home match. The WBA lost the remaining five fights during this period. West Brom are one of the most underperforming teams in the Premier League. In 12 matches the Blackbirds have scored only nine goals. Only Burnley (6) and Sheffield United (5) have less. But in terms of conceded goals the WBA is the leader. 25 goals has conceded no one else. There are few staff losses for guests. Disqualification will serve Mateus Pereira da Silva. Conor Townsend, Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Field are injured.
