• Date: Wednesday, 03 December 2025

• Venue: Emirates Stadium

Arsenal come into this match with a solid run of form, having won three of their last five games and drawing the other two. Their attacking prowess was on full display in their recent 4-1 thrashing of Tottenham, suggesting they could pose a significant threat to Brentford's defence. However, their draws against Chelsea and Sunderland show they can be vulnerable, which Brentford might look to exploit.

Brentford, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results, winning three and losing two of their last five matches. Their home form has been particularly strong, with convincing wins against Burnley, Newcastle, and Liverpool. This could give them the confidence to challenge Arsenal, but their away form, including a loss to Brighton, might temper their expectations.

Arsenal have been in fine fettle recently, securing three wins and two draws in their last five outings. Their most impressive result was a 4-1 home victory against Tottenham, showcasing their ability to dominate strong opposition. The draws against Chelsea and Sunderland, both away from home, indicate a level of consistency and resilience, which should boost their confidence going into this match.

Arsenal are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Eze, Zubimendi, and Rice forming a robust midfield trio capable of controlling the game's tempo. Up front, Saka, Martinelli, and Merino will look to exploit any gaps in Brentford's defence with their pace and creativity.
