Ozil has struggled with illness and injury over the past few weeks but played the majority of Arsenal’s victory over Lincoln last week after replacing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Arsene Wenger has selected a strong line-up for the match at the Hawthorns with Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez and Chamberlain making up a lightening fast frontline. Aaron Ramsey continues in midfield alongside Granit Xhaka.
Arsenal starting XI: Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Ramsey, Xhaka; Walcott, Chamberlain, Alexis; Welbeck
Subs: Ospina, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Coquelin, Elneny, Iwobi, Giroud
