Arsenal face West Brom Saturday at The Hawthornes, in a match that could provide an opportunity to build some momentum. West Brom lie in the bottom half of the table, having only won 1 in 6. Arsenal currently lies in 8th, but their performance against Dortmund was promising, and they have a couple of players returning from injury. Olivier Giroud should play a large role in this match, while Laurent Koscielny will continue to make his come back and will most likely feature on the bench again after recently making his return to training. There is unfortunate news however as Jack Wilshere will be out at least 3 months after undergoing surgery on the ankle he injured against Manchester United last weekend. Mikel Arteta limped off against Dortmund, with Arsene Wenger claiming he will miss a significant amount of a time, although no timetable has been set Giroud will make his first start of the league Saturday. He would have started against Dortmund if he had been registered for the Champions League, but Yaya Sanogo performed admirably, scoring his first senior goal for Arsenal. Unfortunately Sanogo limped off injured, holding his hamstring. Welbeck is in need of a rest; this is probably why he injured himself after last weekend’s game. Welbeck will be on the bench, in this one, and Giroud will make an impact in his first start
