The Arsenal players have been continuing their preparations this afternoon ahead of the crucial Boxing Day clash with West Bromwich Albion at the Emirates.

We welcome the Baggies to north London off the back of two hugely disappointing defeats away to Everton and Manchester City which have left us nine points off the pace in the title race so it’s vital we get back to winning ways on Monday.

It’s no wonder then that the players have been putting in the effort on the training field with many of the photographs from today’s session showing the likes of Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka tussling for the ball or Laurent Koscielny lunging in with a slide tackle.

We need to show that sort of commitment on the training pitch and carry it in to games as we’ve come up woefully short over the past two matches with some of the players showing a distinct lack of passion and desire.

Let’s hope Arsene Wenger and his coaching staff have got right in to the squad this week and we see a response against West Brom on Boxing Day.
