Brentford and Arsenal will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between Thomas Frank’s side and Mikel Arteta’s team will be held at the Gtech Community Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 5:30 pm UK time on Saturday.
Brentford
Brentford have made themselves an established club in the Premier League and have progressed a lot under head coach Thomas Frank. Although the Bees are not going to challenge for the UEFA Champions League places, they could push for the UEFA Europa Conference League or the UEFA Europa League places.
The Bees are 11th in the Premier League table at the moment with 16 points from 12 matches. Brentford are 10 points behind London rivals and fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and four points behind Newcastle United in seventh.
Brentford will head into the London derby against Arsenal on Saturday on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool away from home at Anfield in the Premier League. It came after a 3-2 victory over West Ham United at home which followed a 2-0 victory over Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League.
Team News:
Brentford are likely to line up in a 5-3-2 formation. The Bees will have Mark Flekken in goal. Kristoffer Ajer, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mae and Mads Roerslev will be the five defenders. Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard and Vitaly Janelt will be the three midfielders. Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo will be the two forwards.
Arsenal
Arsenal are doing extremely well at the moment and, just like last season, could push Manchester City all the way in the Premier League title race and perhaps even win it. After all, the Gunners have more experience this season than the last.
Mikel Arteta’s side are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 27 points from 12 matches. Arsenal are a point behind leaders and defending champions Manchester City and are level on points with Liverpool in second.
