Arsenal vs Brentford

Fresh from their impressive win over Real Madrid in midweek, Arsenal return to domestic action with an English Premier League home clash against Brentford. 

The Gunners are still attempting to chase down leaders Liverpool but will have the second leg against the Spaniards on their minds. With the home side seemingly preoccupied with next week's clash in Spain, the visitors are likely to have a go and Saturday’s clash should produce goals. 

Arsenal Form


Arsenal are coming off a magical night in the UEFA Champions League as they claimed an impressive 3-0 home victory over holders Real Madrid. A stunning brace of free-kicks from Declan Rice and a Mikel Merino effort earned them a solid quarter-final first leg advantage. 
 
The Gunners are 11 points off the pace in the Premier League table and are unbeaten in their last five domestic matches, playing out a 1-1 draw at Everton in their previous fixture. While Mikel Arteta will be keen to maintain their pursuit of Liverpool, a daunting second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu is on the horizon and the manager is likely to rotate his squad. 

Arsenal have been a bit wobbly at the back lately and head into this clash without a clean sheet in three of their last four Premier League matches. However, they have scored first in the last five matches in the league, with three of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.
 

Brentford Form


Sitting three points off 10th-placed Bournemouth, the task for Brentford in the final weeks of the season will be to secure a place in the top half. However, their recent form has been below par with just one win from their last five matches, playing out a 0-0 draw at Chelsea in their previous fixture.
 
While things appear rough for Brentford at the moment, a strange thing about their recent form is that they seem to fare better on their travels. Thomas Frank’s team have won five of their last six Premier League away matches. 

Like the hosts, Brentford often have shaky moments at the back and are without a clean sheet in four of their last five matches. However, they have quality going forward, with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa scoring a combined 30 Premier League goals this season while five of their last six away matches have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Head to Head


Arsenal have a fine record against Brentford and are unbeaten in the last seven matches, claiming six wins in that run. The Gunners picked up a 3-1 away victory in the reverse fixture back in December.

Verdict

Arsenal may have a great record in this fixture but could field a much changed team as they look to close out the Champions League tie against Real Madrid. Brentford will fancy their chances against a seemingly weakened team and are expected to take the game to the Gunners.

Both teams have scored and produced over 2.5 goals in their last two meetings and could serve up a similar outcome here. Arsenal should maintain their trend of opening the scoring having grabbed the first goal in their last five matches.
