Brentford v Arsenal

Brentford vs Arsenal Preview

Brentford's winless run in the Premier League was extended to three games when The Bees were involved in a 0-0 stalemate down on the south coast away from home at Brighton and although Thomas Frank's side return to the home surroundings of their Gtech Community Stadium, the hosts will face a tough challenge in the shape of Arsenal.

Arsenal registered a 1-0 home win against Ipswich Town on Friday night to make it five wins in seven games for The Gunners and a result which helped lift Mikel Arteta's side up into third place in the Premier League table and just a point behind surprise package, Nottingham Forest.

Brentford still remain in a mid-table position of 12th place in the Premier League table despite slipping to three defeats within their last five games overall in the English top flight, following losses at the hands of Aston Villa, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest respectively, and another tough evening at the office awaits The Bees on Wednesday.

However, The Bees have registered seven wins in their nine home games to date at the Gtech Community Stadium and having lost just once on home soil, Thomas Frank's side look in good shape to at least give Arsenal a decent run for their money here, while the goals market also looks encouraging as 14 out of Brentford's 18 matches overall have resulted in both teams scoring.

A fifth win in seven games in the domestic top flight saw Arsenal record a 1-0 home win against Ipswich Town and in turn lift the north London club up into third place where the race is well and truly on for the runners-up spot behind the league leaders Liverpool as it stands.

Recent victories against the likes of Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town respectively have continued to push Arsenal into Champions League reckoning for next season, and having suffered just two defeats in total so far this season, The Gunners look in good shape to add to their points tally on Wednesday evening.

Despite slipping to defeats at Bournemouth and Newcastle United in recent times on the road, Arsenal have since put together a four-match unbeaten run away from home which includes wins at West Ham and Crystal Palace, while it's also interesting to note that all four of these outings also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net as well.

Brentford v Arsenal Verdict

Brentford's strong form on home soil at the Gtech Community Stadium along with Arsenal's consistent sequence of results of late in the Premier League suggest both teams stand a decent chance of scoring in this one.

Arsenal might just sneak a narrow win in an entertaining encounter.
