Arsenal will look to continue an impressive run of form this weekend, as they return to Premier League action with an away trip to West Brom.
The Gunners have managed to avoid any fresh injuries over the international break, and will welcome back a series of players over the next few days.
Arsene Wenger’s team selection remains slightly hindered however, with a must-win Champions League game to think about on Tuesday night.
Following a backlash of injuries and pile up of fixtures, his side have managed to maintain a position at the top of the table alongside Manchester City.
And ahead of Saturday afternoons action, both managers released all of their latest team news, and it seems as if the Baggies could also be in line to make a few changes.

The backline will welcome back Hector Bellerin after a couple of weeks on the sidelines, and he will immediately replace a struggling Mathieu Debuchy.
Wenger followed up with more good news that Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain would make a return on Monday, suggesting they could feature in the Zagreb game on Tuesday night.
Just short of returning this week is Theo Walcott, who is in line to link up with playing time at the beginning of December.
However, long-term absentees Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky are all expected to join full training during late December.
Predicted Arsenal XI: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Campbell, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud
West Brom
Tony Pulis announced that all of his squad will be fit, but reminded the press that Gareth McCauley will be out following his suspension from the Manchester United.
Pulis will also be unable to use Serge Gnabry, who is currently on loan at West Brom following a lack of first team football at the Emirates Stadium.
But with a full list of players to work with, it’ll be interesting to see how a manager who is so intent on defensive strategy will line up against the Gunners.
The Midlands club currently hold the record for least amount of shots on goal for the Premier League campaign so far, something the Arsenal fans will be rubbing their hands together about.
Predicted West Brom XI: Myhill, Olsson, Dawson, Evans, Brunt, McClean, Fletcher, Yacob, Sessegnon, Morrison, Berahino
