Premier League leaders Arsenal will look to get back to winning ways when they welcome Brentford to the Emirates Stadium this Saturday.
The Gunners lost for just the second time in the Premier League last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by Sean Dyche’s Everton. The loss followed a 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup, meaning that Mikel Areteta’s side have failed to score in their last two games.

Yet, they remain ahead in the title race with a five-point cushion over City, who have played a game more. For the hosts, returning to the Emirates Stadium after a pair of away defeats should soothe fears as they look to protect one of the only two unbeaten home league records that remain this term (W8, D1).
However, Brentford is one of the Premier League’s most in-form sides. The Bees travel to North London unbeaten across their last nine Premier League games.
That run includes taking points from Spurs, Liverpool and Manchester City, so we expect this tie to be a tight affair that will see both teams score.
Thomas frank’s men have taken 11 points from a possible 18 against the “Big Six” teams this season (W3, D2, L1) while they scored 11 times whilst conceding only seven in reply across those games.
