August 19 is a date that West Bromwich Albion fans will have fond memories of. That's the date when they last won a Premier League game with a 1-0 win at Burnley. That made it two wins out of two in the Premier League and they were in the top four but it's been a total nightmare ever since. The following 18 league games have seen Albion earn just nine points and not a single win. They are on their second manager but the appointment of Alan Pardew hasn't seen a great deal of change with three points from six games and just a couple of goals. Any points they have earned since Pardew took over have been via goalless draws. When the goals do flow they don't bring wins, only three times have West Brom scored twice in a league game this season and they didn't win any of them. January could be a busy time for Pardew as he seeks the players who will somehow get them out of the relegation zone that they currently occupy. Albion are one from bottom and could sink to last place if Swansea can win at Watford. Arsenal are sixth in the table and only a point off the treasured top four. Their midweek win at Crystal Palace extended their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions and four games unbeaten away from home in the Premier League. The win at Palace was only their third away league victory of the season and they are yet to win two in a row. They suffered a shock defeat at West Brom last season but if Sanchez can continue the form he showed in midweek, then they can get an away win in this game.
