After the loss against Arsenal, the Baggies look doomed to be relegated. West Brom have only won one game in the Premier League this season and look like they cannot avoid the drop. Sam Allardyce's record of never being relegated is under major threat, as the Baggies have been leaking goals all season.

West Brom need to have a great transfer window. They currently look like they require a whole new back-line, as well as a proven centre forward who can get them out of the situation they are in.


#4 Alexandre Lacazette is Arsenal's most important player

Lacazette looks like a different player to what he was 2 months ago, He has been immense for the Gunners in the last month. The Frenchman has been putting in excellent performances over the last few games and has found the net regularly.

His ability to defend from the front and pick off opposition players, helped Arsenal spring counter attacks throughout the game. Also the confidence that he is playing with makes the Frenchman Arsenal's most potent weapon in front of goal. Mikel Arteta will be delighted with the performances that Lacazette is producing.


#5 Arsenal can make a run for a top 6 spot

With the form Arsenal are currently in, don't put it past the Gunners to start rapidly climbing up the table. Mikel Arteta's men look hungry and ready to fight for the badge, after a terrible start to the camapign.

Arsenal currently find themselves in 11th, but only six points off Tottenham in third. If they continue this kind of form, and if the teams above them start to falter, it's not crazy to think that the Gunners could find themselves challenging for a European spot soon.

Mikel Arteta will look to strengthen his side in the January transfer window which would only help in improving Arsenal's fortunes. Also, with the likes of Gabriel and Thomas Partey coming back to full fitness, Arsenal will be a team to watch out for in the coming months.
