Thomas Frank’s team showcased their attacking prowess against Burnley, Chelsea, and West Ham before encountering a resilient Liverpool at Anfield, ending in a 3-0 defeat. The loss nudged them to 11th place behind Chelsea, but they remain closer to the top four than the relegation zone, having secured four wins, four draws, and four defeats. The Bees have an ongoing streak of scoring in 20 consecutive Premier League home games. Brentford aim for redemption against Arsenal after their Anfield loss, eyeing an upset to advance in the standings.
Arsenal secured a 3-1 victory against Burnley, with Leandro Trossard, William Saliba, and Oleksandr Zinchenko making significant contributions. The win propelled them to third place, closely trailing Liverpool and Manchester City. However, their away form has stumbled recently, winning only one of their last five away matches. Despite this, their history at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium has been favorable, notably a 3-0 league victory in 2022 and a 1-0 EFL Cup win. Arsenal aim to maintain pressure near the top and seek another positive result against Brentford.
Head-to-Head
In their encounters following promotion to the Premier League, Brentford have met Arsenal four times, securing one win, one draw, and suffering two losses.
Prediction
Brentford, under Frank’s guidance, have demonstrated their competitiveness and prowess, especially in local derbies, where they remain unbeaten in 14 matches. Despite Arteta’s injury concerns, Arsenal possess quality players and aim for a crucial win to exert pressure on teams above them. Expect a tight clash, but with Arsenal’s edge in quality, they could secure a win, given Brentford’s occasional defensive vulnerabilities.
