Brentford vs Arsenal - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Arsenal return to action after the international break with a trip across London to face Brentford in the Premier League.

The Gunners will visit the Gtech Community Stadium in Saturday's late kick-off as they look for a third successive win in all competitions. Mikel Arteta's side managed a 3-1 victory over newly-promoted Burnley in their last domestic outing, but a clash with Brentford is likely to be a sterner challenge.

Brentford had been on an impressive run of form following three successive wins, but a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool before the international hiatus saw the Bees drop to 11th in the Premier League table.

Arsenal have already tasted victory away at Brentford this season, Reiss Nelson's early goal helping them to a 1-0 win in the Carabao Cup third round.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the rematch this weekend.

Brentford team news

Thomas Frank has four guaranteed absentees for the visit of Arsenal, with Ivan Toney still suspended until January next year. One of his potential replacements Kevin Schade is sidelined until 2024, while the full-back duo of Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry will also be missing for long spells - the latter expected to be out for the rest of the season.

Nathan Collins is likely to be absent for the clash with Arsenal after sustaining an ankle injury on international duty with the Republic of Ireland.

Keane Lewis-Potter, Josh Dasilva and Mikkel Damsgaard are all nearing a return, although this weekend could come too early for the Brentford trio.

Brentford predicted lineup vs Arsenal

Brentford predicted lineup (5-3-2): Flekken; Ajer, Zanka, Pinnock, Mee, Roerslev; Norgaard, Jensen, Janelt; Mbeumo, Wissa.

Having missed Arsenal's last three games and the international break with Norway through injury, Martin Odegaard could return to action against Brentford. The Norwegian has been a big miss for Arteta, with his comeback needed given Fabio Vieira is suspended and Emile Smith-Rowe likely absent through fitness concerns of his own.

David Raya is ineligible to play against his parent club meaning Aaron Ramsdale will return in goal, while Ben White should feature having missed the Burnley game with a minor issue. Gabriel Jesus is also likely to return to the starting lineup having got a run out for Brazil against Argentina.

Jurrien Timber remains sidelined with an ACL injury and Thomas Partey will miss the trip to Brentford with a muscle problem sustained in late October.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Brentford

Arsenal predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

Brentford vs Arsenal score prediction

Despite losing their first trip to Hounslow in Brentford's first-ever Premier League match, Arsenal have won their last two at the Gtech Community Stadium. They're also unbeaten in their last four meetings with Frank's side.

Arsenal should return to Premier League action with a win against Brentford at the weekend, although it's likely to be a tight affair. The Bees have struggled for clean sheets and the return of some of the Gunners' previously absent stars such as Odegaard and Jesus gives them the edge.

It won't be simple for Arteta's side, but they should get the job done.

Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Arsenal

Every mistake Tottenham & Daniel Levy have made since 2019

Image
For much of Daniel Levy's tenure as Tottenham chairman, he oversaw a lot of undeniable and tangible progress. Spurs were mid-table fodder when ENIC took control of the club in 2001. Since then, they've elevated the club to consistent European contenders (despite a lack of silverware) and have invested in state-of-the-art facilities. But when they viewed the time had come to turn from nearly-men to winners, they took the club backwards again. And again. And again. Here are Levy and the Spurs board's greatest blunders since their peak of reaching the 2019 UEFA Champions League final. 1. Too little, too late in the transfer market Ndombele even scored a worldie on his debut / Marc Atkins/GettyImages This one's a bit of a prelude to this whole debacle, but it still runs true. From 2018 to 2019, Tottenham went nearly 18 months without making a signing. Not one. Zilch. Nada. The board bemoaned that conducting transfer activity was hard. Spurs spent the 2018/19 season running ...

Top scorers on the final day of Premier League seasons

Image
The final day of an invariably long, hard league campaign can be the setting for season-defining matches. However, more often than not, everything of relevance has already been final ised for both clubs involved, giving many of the simultaneous set of matches the care-free recklessness of the last day of primary school. It's no surprise that the final round of matches invariably produces more goals than the average across the preceding nine months of each season . Here are the players, with their favourite toy stuffed into their backpacks, that have taken advantage at the end of each season . 10. Teddy Sheringham - 7 11 years separated Teddy Sheringham's first and last final-day goals in the Premier League / Phil Cole/GettyImages Never blessed with burning pace, timing always underpinned Teddy Sheringham's superb career. By the summer of 2004, aged 38, what little speed Sheringham ever had was long gone - yet, that didn't stop the veteran from coming off the bench to s...

Liverpool handed boost after Barcelona rule managerial target out of race to succeed Xavi

Image
Barcelona sporting director Deco has questioned the credentials of Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim and effectively ruled him out of the race to replace Xavi this summer. Xavi will stand down from his role as Barca's head coach at the end of the 2023/24 season and there has been plenty of speculation over who his successor will be. Like Barcelona, Liverpool are also on the hunt for a new manager with Jurgen Klopp leaving the club at the end of the season. Both have been linked with 39-year-old Amorim, who has done a stellar job at Sporting since his appointment in 2020, notably leading them to their first Portuguese title in 19 years during his first full season. Xavi's time at Barcelona is nearing an end / Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/GettyImages The Daily Mail recently reported that Amorim will be considered by Liverpool as a Klopp successor. However, he looks unlikely to be in the thoughts of those at Barcelona. During a recent trip to his native Portugal, Deco fielded questi...
