West Brom v Arsenal: Team news
Matt Phillips is out of West Brom's home clash with Arsenal as he continues to struggle with a hamstring injury.
The winger has missed the last three games with the problem and will be joined on the sidelines by James Morrison who is nursing an ankle knock.
Salomon Rondon could be recalled to the starting line-up after the striker, who is on a 13-game run without a goal, was a second-half substitute in last Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Everton.
Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain faces a fitness test.
The England international was forced off in the 5-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Lincoln last weekend with a hamstring problem but it was more of a precaution and he could be involved at The Hawthorns.
Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi have overcome illness but Kieran Gibbs is a doubt with an unspecified knock, while Mohamed Elneny (ankle) and Santi Cazorla (Achilles) are out.
Teams
West Brom (from): Foster, Myhill, Dawson, Nyom, McAuley, Kane Wilson, Marc Wilson, Olsson, Evans, Galloway, Brunt, Fletcher, Field, Yacob, McClean, Chadli, Rondon, Robson-Kanu, Leko.

West Brom v Arsenal: Manager quotes
Tony Pulis (West Brom)
On Jake Livermore's England call-up: "I still think we'll see the best of him next season. With Jake it was just important to get him to a club where he felt a lot more secure. coming here he feels at home. That's the best way of describing it.
"He's got the opportunity and that's the great thing. He has the opportunity to train and show what he can do.
"He's a wonderful kid. He's come into the club and if you speak to any of the players they'll tell you what a great character he is. He's pretty old school, works hard and get his job done but also has a great sense of humour."
On West Brom's form: "As I said when we were doing well, as sure as eggs are eggs, we'll hit a spell where we lose games. The important thing is to dust yourselves down and move on to the next one. It's a real test for everybody, all the players who are available, to get the points that we want."
Arsene Wenger (Arsenal)
On Theo Walcott: "He has become more of a complete player, more efficient.
"He does better in the tactical part of his game and works hard defensively and offensively. He has been less injured as well, that helps.
"He has turned up in big games as well, he can score goals in big games. He showed that against Bayern, he scored the goal and I think it was a penalty on him and he can influence games.
"The major quality of Theo is the quality of his receptions - that means he gets the ball in areas where he is extremely dangerous and that is a very intelligent part of a football player."
"He is a focused player and was not picked for the European Championships.
"Always in life you try and get to the next level when things don't go for you or you think you do everything right and continue to live like you did before - and he had the right response. He said 'what do I need to do to get higher up?' and he did it."
On his future: "I have nothing to say about that anymore.
"Every press conference is about that and we have talked enough about that. I've talked enough about that."
On speculation that assistant manager Boro Primorac could leave: "That's a complete invention.
"It's good today. You say anything and everybody takes it without checking any information. Everybody just takes and takes it and makes a subject. It's not serious. Fake news."
Asked about whether he was aware of interest in Hector Bellerin from Barcelona, he replied: "No.
"He just extended his contract. It's an unbelievable amount of years to go. I believe again it's very difficult to take these things seriously."
On the target for the rest of the season: "Success, it's not down to me to judge that.
"Our job is to do as well as we can until the end of the season. We want to play in the Champions League next season.
"We have a tough job because we have six or seven teams fighting for the places and how well we do until the end of the season will of course depend on that.
"On the rest, we are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, we have an opportunity to do that as well. So overall that's our targets. After that, success is basically to take the maximum out of the potential of the team. Where is that? We will see."
West Brom v Arsenal: Our prediction
Our David John writes... Arsenal managed to restore a little bit of order to their affairs with a straightforward success in the FA Cup over plucky Lincoln (they also finally walked the ball into the goal after a decade of trying) but Tony Pulis and his Baggies will attempt to make things as awkward as possible this weekend.
They managed to pull off a 2-1 victory in the corresponding fixture last season - memorable also for Santi Cazorla’s off-target penalty kick - but pretty insipid recent defeats to Crystal Palace and Everton mean the hosts are a long way from the sort of form usually required to trouble the Gunners.
Pulis felt his players worked hard at Goodison but that seemed a rather generous appraisal considering they rarely threatened the Everton goal and never looked like putting up a fight once conceding a double salvo immediately before the break.
Their much-journeyed manager though has displayed a knack for getting under Arsene Wenger’s skin over the years and will set his side up to compete physically and hopefully be tough to break down once more, a situation which has been the case for much of the season during home games.
An FA Cup semi-final berth against an erratic Manchester City is something to look forward to but the pressure is right back on Arsenal as three recent defeats in the Premier League has left them outside of the top four looking in.
They do have games in hand over Liverpool but that is not really considered an advantage as the fixture backlog piles up while disgruntled fans continue to voice their concerns over Wenger remaining at the Emirates and the future of Alexis Sanchez with more protests apparently planned in the midlands.
This has been an excellent campaign so far for West Brom and it would be a bit of shame if it started to unravel and they end up scratching around for a few meagre morsels over the closing 10 matches.
So what better time than the current to stir themselves back into action against a visitor that still looks mentally lightweight and could be made to pay from a West Brom speciality – the set-piece.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster has issued the ubiquitous rallying cry to his team-mates not to let the campaign fizzle out and limiting the spluttering Gunners to under 1.5 goals in the game looks like a bet in anticipation of the hosts going back to basics and delivering an organised performance.
Prediction: West Brom 1-1 Arsenal
