West Bromwich Albion can damage Arsenal's chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table with a victory over the Gunners on Sunday.

Arsenal face a tough task taking on West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Sunday as the Gunners fight to stay in the top four of the Premier League table.

The North London club's Champions League fate will be decided on the final day of the season this weekend with Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United all vying for the same position.

Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson will hope to secure victory for his final match in charge of the Baggies before joining up with England for the Three Lions' Euro 2012 campaign.

The 64-year-old is likely to keep Graham Dorrans, Chris Brunt and Jerome Thomas in midfield with Shane Long and Peter Odemwingie leading the line up front.

Arsene Wenger will be without injured Bacary Sagna which could mean that Francis Coquelin is installed in defence with Aaron Ramsey and Alex Song holding the midfield.

Theo Walcott is likely to return to the squad on the bench following a bout of injury, which indicates that Yossi Benayoun could be handed a spot in the starting lineup.

Current league form:

West Brom: WLWWDD
Arsenal: WWLDDD

Possible lineups:

West Brom: Foster; Olsson, Jones, Ridgewell, McAuley; Mulumbu, Dorrans, Brunt, Thomas; Odemwingie, Long

Arsenal: Szczesny; Coquelin, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Ramsey, Song, Rosicky; Benayoun, Gervinho; Van Persie

Sports Mole says: 1-2
