ARSENAL will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they make the short trip across the capital to face London neighbours Brentford on Sunday lunchtime.
The Gunners’ five-match winning streak in the top-flight was snapped at Old Trafford earlier this month, as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against old foes Manchester United.
Despite that setback, Mikel Arteta’s men remain top of the Premier League table, but they will be keen to bounce back at the first time of asking against Brentford.
While Arsenal have spent the last two weeks stewing domestically, they have since safely negotiated their way past FC Zurich in their opening Europa League assignment of the season.
Brentford, meanwhile, will be looking to consolidate their place amongst England’s elite after earning an excellent 13th-placed finish during the 2021-22 campaign.
Thomas Frank’s team have started this season in good fashion, tasting defeat just once in six outings to date, allaying any fears over the potential for a classic case of second season syndrome.
