Each team's starting lineup is based on their previous match in this tournament.

Brentford

The Londoners drew 0-0 away against Brighton in the last round. Prior to that, the club suffered defeats to Chelsea (1-2) and Nottingham Forest (0-2). This winless streak is only their second in the current Premier League campaign. Thomas Frank's side is in 12th place, seven points adrift of the European competition spots. Notably, Brentford's matches are the third most prolific in the league, averaging 3.56 goals per game.


Defenders Sepp van den Berg, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Rico Henry, and Aaron Hickey, midfielder Mathias Jensen, and forward Gustavo Nunez are all sidelined with injuries.


  • At least three goals have been scored in 9 of Brentford's last 12 Premier League matches.
  • Both teams have scored in 13 of Brentford's last 16 league games.
  • The club has won only once in the first half in their last eight Premier League games (4 draws and 3 losses).

Arsenal

After the last round, the Gunners moved back to second place, overtaking Chelsea by one point. This came after victories over Crystal Palace (5-1) and Ipswich (1-0). Overall, the London club is unbeaten in eight league matches, securing 5 wins and 3 draws. Mikel Arteta's side also boasts the best defensive record in the league, conceding only 16 goals.


Forwards Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka, along with defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White, will miss the game due to injuries.


  • No more than three goals have been scored in 7 of Arsenal's last 9 Premier League matches.
  • Away from home, the Gunners have only two wins in their last seven league matches (3 draws and 2 losses).
  • The club is unbeaten in the second half in nine consecutive Premier League matches (4 wins and 5 draws).

Brentford vs. Arsenal: Match Prediction

Thomas Frank's side boasts the best home record among all Premier League clubs. Before their defeat to Nottingham Forest, the team had gone unbeaten in eight consecutive home league matches, securing 7 wins and 1 draw. This strong home form has kept the club in mid-table rather than battling for survival, as Brentford, along with Southampton, has the worst away record in the league.


I believe the hosts can take points off Arsenal, or if they lose, it will be by a narrow margin. The Gunners have won only twice in their last seven away Premier League games, defeating only West Ham and Crystal Palace. It's worth noting that the teams have faced each other six times in the league, with Arsenal only once winning by more than a one-goal margin.


My prediction – Brentford with a handicap (+1.5)
