GAME PREVIEW


Lacazette Arsenal West Brom

The Gunners will be hoping to get another win under their belt to push themselves back towards top four after an inauspicious start in the league.

Brighton, who are 13th after six league games, will be making their first visit to the Emirates and have never won an away match at Arsenal in all competitions in six attempts.

Arsenal played a second-string team in their 4-2 win over BATE and will be back to full strength ahead of the two-week international break that follows the match.

Alexandre Lacazette has proven to be one of the signings of the summer with his early season form, scoring four times in the league so far - that's one less than the entire Brighton team have managed.

Without Hemed to lead the line for the Seagulls, Chris Hughton's men will be hoping that Alexis Sanchez won't be firing on all cylinders as he works his way back to full fitness.
