LONDON: Jack Wilshere believes he is nearing a return to his best form as he prepares to make a fifth successive Premier League start when Arsenal visit West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. The game will see manager Arsene Wenger in charge for a record 811th Premier League game, passing the mark previously set by Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, and give the Gunners an opportunity to strengthen their push for a top-four spot. After several injury-scarred seasons, Wilshere insists he is feeling as good as he has done for some time. “We think he’s going to miss the first two months of this year which is a big blow for us,” said Pardew. “It’s something I’m going to have to look at in January, because obviously he’s a quality player going out of the group for some considerable time.”--AFP
