Match details

Preview

Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss against Manchester United when they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to take on Brentford on Sunday. The Gunners have dropped down to the third spot in the table after Manchester City and Tottenhams wins on Saturday. But a win in this game will put them right back at the top of the table once again. Brentford, on the other hand, have been in pretty good form by their standards as well. They have lost only one out of their six games so far while winning twice and three other games ending in draws. Brentford are also coming into this match on the back of a massive 5-2 win against Leeds United and they will be eager to carry the momentum forward.

Other important players

Gabriel Jesus: The Brazilian forward will be a big threat to the Brentford defence in this game. Jesus has three goals and as many assists to his name already this season.

Ivan Toney: He has played like a one-man army for Brentford so far. Toney has five goals to his name already and has also assisted twice on top of that.

Gabriel Martinelli: The young forward has enjoyed a good run of form as well. Martinelli has three goals to his name so far and stands quite a good chance of bagging a big haul here.
