RB – Hector Bellerin
This position is a toss-up between the Spaniard and Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Bellerin was very disappointing against Brighton and that was all the more surprising following an excellent display versus Chelsea only a few days earlier.
The fullback’s inconsistency is a concern but his ability going forward may get him the nod for the Baggies clash as Arteta will need every creative option available.
