Arsenal look to get back to winning ways and extend their superb record at home this season as they host Brentford. Only Newcastle have come away from the Emirates with anything to show for it in the Premier League this season, after a goalless draw last month.
Defeats to Manchester City in the FA Cup and then Everton in the League have somewhat stalled the Gunners’ momentum. They still sit five points clear at the top with a game in hand, but Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford another slip-up ahead of City’s trip to north London in midweek.
Brentford have wins over both Manchester clubs and Liverpool to their name already this season, though Thomas Frank believes this will be their toughest game yet. The Bees are unbeaten in the League since the World Cup, and enter the weekend only seven points off the top four.
