Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal will head back to Premier League games on the back of an unforgettable midweek Champions League night after a stunning 3-0 victory against Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash courtesy of a Declan Rice brace of free kicks. Rice will prove to be a threat from range. Last weekend in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton at Goodison Park.

Mikel Arteta’s men are sitting at the second spot in the Premier League with 62 points, 11 points adrift of leaders Liverpool.
Mikel Arteta's side has been in impressive form on their home soil, having suffered only one defeat in the last six Premier League home games. Bukayo Saka returns following a lengthy injury lay-off, to give Arsenal a boost.

Brentford will come into this round of the Premier League on the back of an inconsistency with form, having only won one of their last five league games.
