Premier League – West Brom vs. Arsenal FC kick-off time

WBA vs. Arsenal takes place this afternoon in the Premier League.

The game, which takes place at The Hawthorns, is scheduled to kick off at 16:00 BST and airs live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports 1/Sky Sports 1 HD.

Arsenal have been in superb form in recent weeks and manager Arsene Wenger believes increased confidence is the reason for the club’s fast starts to recent games.

Arsenal have scored four goals in the first 15 minutes of their Premier League games this season, and continued the trend in midweek, scoring two early goals in the Champions League win over Napoli on Tuesday night.

“We started at such a good pace because we had a remembrance of the Emirates Cup where they [Napoli] started very strong,” Wenger told his club’s official website.

“We knew on our side that it was vital for us to come out of the blocks in a very sharp way and it was successful. Of course you cannot plan that you score early goals but it worked well.”

Wenger this week also pointed out the stark contrast with last season, when the Gunners were widely seen as a side that played better football in the second half of games.

“It’s completely different,” he said ahead of the trip to West Brom.

“That shows you how unpredictable the situations are but maybe it’s linked with the confidence.

“When the team has confidence they go into the game with a positive feeling and a positive attitude.The more you build that confidence up with the results, the more you go into the next game thinking let’s just do it to win the game.”
