Arsenal has never lost to Brentford at home. They have also recorded 7 wins in the recent 10 overall head-to-head matches.

Arsenal's 4-2-3-1

Manager Mikel Arteta's system is working perfectly. Rice and Zubimendi control the midfield, and Saka and Trossard attack from the flanks.

They boast an offensive power of scoring 3 goals per game at home. Saliba leads the defense, and Raya guards the goal.

Gabriel is out with a hamstring injury. Inkapie is likely to play in his place.

Brentford's 4-2-3-1

Manager Thomas Frank has also been achieving good results recently. They have shown off their attacking power by scoring 2.5 goals per game.

Henderson and Yarmolyuk form the midfield, and Damsgaard and Shade attack from the flanks. Thiago is responsible for finishing at the forefront.

Carvalho and Milambo are out with cruciate ligament injuries.

1. Arsenal's Home Attacking Power

They are scoring 3 goals per game at home. The performance of Saka and Trossard is key. It doesn't seem difficult to penetrate the Brentford defense.

2. Brentford's Counterattacks

Their recent scoring ability is good. They are scoring 2.5 goals per game. They must take advantage of the gaps in Arsenal's defense when they come up. However, it won't be easy as Arsenal is a team that concedes 0.54 goals per game.

3. Midfield Dominance

If Rice and Zubimendi dominate the midfield, Arsenal's attack will be wide open. Brentford's Henderson has to stop this, which is not an easy task.
