Arsenal head into their Carabao Cup second round clash with West Brom knowing there’s more than a place in the competition at stake.

The Gunners have started the season in dire form with a pair of meek 2-0 defeats to Brentford and Chelsea behind them and Manchester City up next in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta is under more pressure than ever to pick up results, making this clash against non-Premier League opposition all the more important.

West Brom – who were relegated from the Premier League last term – have started their campaign in terrific form with three wins out of four.

The Baggies sit second in the Championship and will be determined to give it a decent crack against an Arsenal team who can’t afford any further defeats if they are to keep remaining fans on side.

Our prediction: West Brom v Arsenal

Once again, we’re back to the default ‘Arsenal need a win to take the pressure off Mikel Arteta’ position.

We’ve all been here before, we’ll all be here again and the solution generally seems to remain the same. Youth.

Too many of the Gunners’ experienced stars are off the boil, but the more inexperienced rising stars are the ones who have lifted this club from its worst moments in recent times.

Don’t expect a clean victory, but expect the young Gunners to get the job done by any means necessary.

Our prediction: West Brom 1-2 Arsenal (15/2 at bet365)
