Arsenal vs Brentford

Arsenal are aiming to strengthen their lead at the top of the table when they host Brentford in a midweek English Premier League fixture.

The Gunners have stumbled a bit lately but remain imperious in front of their fans. They should get the better of the visitors, who are unconvincing on their recent travels.

Arsenal News

Arsenal dropped points last time out in the Premier League as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Chelsea. They were made to come from behind, with Mikel Merino’s second-half header earning them a point.

While that was their second draw in three Premier League matches, Arsenal still hold a three-point lead at the top of the table. Mikel Arteta's team are also unbeaten at home across all competitions this season, winning the last seven fixtures on this run.

Goals have not been a problem for Arsenal, who have opened the scoring in the first half in four of their last six matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in their last four matches, while four of their last five fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Brentford News

Brentford are enjoying a solid campaign, having won six of their 13 matches this season. Keith Andrews' team are currently 10th and will be keen to push further up the table.

The Bees head into this clash with five wins in their last seven matches across all competitions, including a 3-1 home victory over Burnley last time out in the Premier League. Their major problem is an erratic away record, having lost four of their last six matches on the road.

Driven by Igor Thiago, who has 11 goals this season, Brentford have looked sharp in attack, scoring in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of those 10 matches, while seven fixtures on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Arsenal have seven wins and two draws, while Brentford have picked up just one victory in the last 10 matches. The Gunners were held to a 1-1 home draw in the last meeting back in April.

Verdict

Arsenal v Brentford

Arsenal will be keen to make a statement after dropping points at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Having scored the first goal in the first half in four of their last six matches, a similar pattern is on the cards here.

The Gunners have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in two of their last three matches, and a repeat could be considered. Both teams have scored in their last three meetings, and that trend is likely to continue on Wednesday.
