Arsenal will welcome Brentford to the Emirates for a one-on-one Premier League clash on Saturday, with kickoff slated for 17:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Can Arsenal Extend their Red-Hot form in the Derby?
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal charges have won their last five straight matches in the Premier League, demonstrating red-hot form as they chase Liverpool and Manchester City in front of them on the table.
Arsenal’s form is underlined by their free-scoring capacity, which has seen them score loads of goals in a seven-match winning stretch since they were turned over at Craven Cottage.
In their last five wins, they have scored 24 goals, winning against Arsenal (3-1), West Ham (0-6), Burnley (0-5), Newcastle (4-1), and Sheffield (0-6); they have conceded just twice in this run, keeping three clean sheets.

Thomas Frank’s Brentford charges have gone four matches without a win in the Premier League, losing three times and drawing once, last time out against Chelsea.
The three losses for Brentford came in matches against Liverpool (1-4), Manchester City (1-0), and West Ham (4-2).
They will have the unenviable task of going to the Emirates looking for a win as they bid to avoid getting drawn into the relegation scrap. They are currently just six points above the drop zone.
Head-to-Head Statistics
Arsenal and Brentford have met nine times in all competitions since 2018. In this run, Arsenal have won the lion’s share of the matches, with five to Brentford’s 1 win and three matches ending in draws.
Last time at the Gtech Stadium, Arsenal edged out the hosts 0-1; they will look to make it a double in the league this season as they chase the title.
Injury Report
Mikel Arteta will have to make do with the absences of Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Brentford will be without Ryan Trevitt, Rico Henry, Kevin Schade, Aaron Hickey, Bryan Mbeumo, Yunus Emre Konak, Ethan Pinnock, and Josh Dasilva.
