Taking at look at the host’s recent form, prior to their recent defeat against, Mikel Arteta’s side were 13 games unbeaten in the league, with their last defeat coming back in September against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Gunners will be hoping to get back to winning ways against the Bees on Saturday, as they are currently in pole position, five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the league, with a game in hand.

Arsenal will also have an eye on their following fixture next Wednesday, as they host title challengers Manchester City, so the Spanish boss might look to some of his squad players in order to get his regular starting XI against Pep Guardiola’s side.

Brentford currently sit top of the form table in the Premier League over the last six matches played, as they have won four and drawn two, extending their unbeaten run to nine games in the top flight.

Thomas Frank’s side have not conceded in their previous three league meetings, so the Danish manager will hoping that his defence can continue this resilience against a free scoring Arsenal side.

Although Brentford have the best current form in the league, we predict a home win, and you can odds at 2.04 for the Gunners to win both halves at Bet9ja. With Gabriel Jesus still sidelined due to injury, it is almost certain that Eddie Nketiah will lead the line, and you can get odds at 5.50, for the 23-year-old to score the first goal of the match.

Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Arsenal win: 1.42, Draw: 4.80, Brentford win: 7.60
