ℹ️ Team News: Arsenal
It seems likely that The Gunners could go for a 4-3-3 system for this one, utilising David Raya, Jurrien Timber, Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Oedegaard, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyoekeres and Noni Madueke.
📋 Team News: Brentford
We believe The Bees seem likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, giving starts to Caoimhin Kelleher, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, K. Vassbakk Ajer, Michael Kayode, Vitaly Janelt, Yehor Yarmoliuk, Mikkel Damsgaard, Rico Henry, Igor Thiago and Kevin Schade.
⚡ 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.
