Team News: Olivier Giroud starts for Arsenal

Olivier Giroud starts up front for Arsenal in their Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

Olivier Giroud has come into Arsenal's starting lineup for the team's Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns this lunchtime.

The French striker made his return from injury as a substitute in the 2-1 loss to Manchester United last weekend, and is one of five players to come into the side that were left out of last week's XI, with Laurent Koscielny and goalkeeper Damian Martinez also included.

Meanwhile, the hosts have made two changes to the starting lineup that took on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend, when they lost 2-0.

Claudio Yacob is suspended after receiving a red card, while Chris Baird drops to the bench, leaving Youssouf Mulumbu and Sebastien Pocognoli to come in.

West Brom: Foster, Wisdom, Lescott, Dawson, Pocognoli, Gardner, Mulumbu, Brunt, Dorrans, Sessegnon, Berahino
Subs: Myhill, McAuley, Gamboa, Baird, Anichebe, Ideye, Samaras

Arsenal: Martinez, Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Welbeck, Sanchez, Cazorla, Giroud
Subs: Macey, Gibbs, Bellerin, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Campbell, Podolski
