📋 Team News: Arsenal

We think that The Gunners look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to David Raya, Jurrien Timber, Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino.

📰 Team News: Brentford

From our viewpoint, The Bees could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Caoimhin Kelleher, Michael Kayode, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Aaron Hickey, Jordan Henderson, Mathias Jensen, Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Arsenal will, in all likelihood, be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the same time, Brentford will not find it easy to break down their defence although we do think that they will probably end up hitting back at some stage.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 win for Arsenal at the end of the match.
