Arsenal and Brentford meet in the Premier League on Thursday afternoon, with the league leaders travelling across London to the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Gunners arrive in strong form after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sunderland last weekend, while Brentford return home on the back of consecutive away wins.
Viktor Gyokeres struck twice in Arsenal’s latest outing, with Martin Zubimendi also on the scoresheet as Mikel Arteta’s side extended their winning run across all competitions to four matches.
That victory kept Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League table, as they continue their pursuit of a first league title in over two decades.
Brentford, meanwhile, stunned both Aston Villa and Newcastle in recent weeks. Igor Thiago netted again at St James’ Park, taking his Premier League tally to 17 goals for the campaign.
Despite those impressive results, the Bees have struggled for consistency at home. They have won just two of their last five at the Gtech Community Stadium and failed to score in two of their last three on their own turf.
Arsenal, by contrast, are unbeaten in eight away matches in all competitions, winning seven of those and outscoring opponents 21-6 during that stretch.
What are the best picks for Brentford vs Arsenal?
Back Arsenal to win
The value lies with the league leaders on the handicap.
Arsenal’s away form has been outstanding. They have covered this line in four of their last eight road matches in all competitions, and when they win away from home, they often do so with control.
Arteta’s side allow just 7.6 shots per game, the lowest figure in the league, and boast the best expected goals against record. That defensive structure makes them difficult to break down.
Brentford have claimed two big wins recently, but in both matches they generated fewer expected goals than their opponents. Replicating that against Arsenal is unlikely to be enough.
Arsenal have also won their last two visits to this stadium and remain unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Brentford.
