Arsenal will host Brentford at the Emirates Stadium as they look to return to winning ways with immediate effect. The Gunners were stunned 1-0 by Everton in their previous encounter and with a fixture against Manchester City looming, a slip up here will potentially blow the title race wide open.
Brentford are the form side on the table going into this match, unbeaten in nine matches, boasting four wins from the last five games as well as four clean sheets from their last five, lying seventh and just seven points off fourth placed Newcastle.
They beat Man City 2-1 at the Etihad earlier in the season; who’s to say it can’t happen here? Mikel Arteta remains without striker Gabriel Jesus, who is still weeks away from a return from injury, as well as Mohammed Elneny and Emile Smith Rowe.
