View West Bromwich Albion v Arsenal head to head

This was only West Bromwich Albion's second win in their last 20 league meetings with Arsenal at The Hawthorns (lost 11). As a mark of respect for the victims of the terrorist attacks on Paris the previous weekend, La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, was played before the start of this match. Premier League chief Richard Scudamore called it an act of “solidarity and remembrance” after the Paris attacks. Kick-off: 3.00pm
