The former Real Madrid star should be fresh for the game at the Hawthorns after being left out of the Germany squad due to the lack of a winter break in England.
He missed his country's 2-0 defeat by France in Paris last Friday, while the world champions saw their friendly with Holland cancelled due to a security threat in Hannover.
Ozil has been in fine form for Arsenal this season, laying on 10 assists in the Premier League and scoring once against Manchester United.
Despite the 27-year-old's consistent displays, Wenger insists the club have not yet discussed a new contract with him.

'We have not started to talk about that with Mesut Ozil,' Wenger said during his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
'[Sanchez] is the same situation - at the end of the year they have two-and-a-half years' contract.
'We have some time. We are not in a hurry. We want of course for them to stay in the club, adn we'll start negotiations at some stage, but at the moment we have not started.'
