Hello and welcome to our live coverage from the Hawthorns.

Ramsey unloads one from distance, but leans back and ends up knocking the ball well over the bar.

Yacob brings down Giroud with a late challenge. Arsenal have a free-kick from 30 yards out or so out.

West Brom really need to get nearer Arsenal in their own half or this could be a long old afternoon for Steve Clarke's side.

Arteta unloads a shot from distance. Spins off Giroud before flying wide. West Brom a bit slow to close down space.

A backheel by Giroud fails to come off as the ball makes its way through to Myhill in the home goal.

The home fans in good voice, but Arsenal looking to keep possession with some interest. Happy to go backwards to retain possession.

West Brom's only home win in seven Premier League matches against Arsenal was the 2-1 victory in October 2005. Nwankwo Kanu and Darren Carter scored for West Brom, with Philippe Senderos netting for Arsenal.

Per Mertesacker forced to knock the ball behind his own goal, but Arsenal look to break at speed. Giroud with a powerful run, but the cross is poor. Can't pick out a team-mate.

West Brom quick to win the ball back from Arsenal before it drops out of play for a goalkick to the visiting side.

Youssuf Mulumbu goes for goal from distance with a speculative hit from the kick-off. Not sure what that was all about there.

We are off and running then in this one.

Teams in the tunnel. Almost ready to go in this one. West Brom in dark blue and white, Arsenal in their changed yellow shirt.

Steve Clarke: “I think so far this season they have been tremendous. They’ve looked really strong. Mesut Ozil is a fantastic signing and has given the whole team a lift and the other players are starting to blossom and get used to the English league. I watched them against Napoli and they were outstanding for 30 minutes and we have to be ready for that. If you look at the league, Arsenal are top but there are a number of good teams up there.”

Mesut Ozil will be the centre of attention again today having scored one and got four assists in his five games since joining the club from Real Madrid. Wilshere will play on the left and Ramsey wide on the right: that's three very technically gifted players behind Giroud in attack.

Stats from Opta: West Brom have won two successive matches in the Barclays Premier League – the last time they won three in a row was in November 2012. Arsenal have won their last eight Barclays Premier League away games in a row, equalling their best run in the competition. The Gunners have scored a league-high four goals in the opening 15 minutes of Barclays Premier League games this season.

Arsene Wenger: "When the team has confidence they go into the game with a positive feeling and a positive attitude. The more you build that confidence up with the results, the more you go into the next game thinking 'let's just do it to win the game'. We played in a sceptical environment last year and that does not create a great level of confidence. What has changed recently for sure is that our environment is positive, our fans believe in us again."

Two changes for Arsenal too with Wilshere in for Rosicky and Jenkinson replacing the injured Sagna.

Two changes for West Brom with promising youngster Berahino and Anelka starting for Sinclair and Anichebe.
