Kieran Tierney is fine after getting a surprise start against Villarreal.

Goalkeepers: Leno, Ryan, Okonkwo.

West Brom

Injuries

Branislav Ivanovic will miss out for the Baggies through injury.

Pacey winger Robert Snodgrass is also a major doubt for the game with a hamstring problem.

Suspensions

West Brom does not have any suspensions but a clause in Ainsley Maitland-Niles' contract prevents him from facing his parent club.

Manager's comments

Mikel Arteta said to Four Four Two: "We have no time because we have a game on Sunday,” he replied when asked whether the team can harness the pain they feel.

“We had a training session on Friday and it had to be when you leave the training ground, most of it has to be out of the system.

“I think you have to leave some of it in some of your systems and use some of it in the right way as an energy driver in the game on Sunday.”

West Brom will be relegated from the Premier League if Arsenal win the game.
