Premier League 2025/26: Brentford vs Arsenal Match Preview, Prediction, TV channels & Predicted Lineup

League leaders Arsenal travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to defend their nine-point gap at the top. Brentford (12th) aims to use their physical home advantage to derail the Gunners' title momentum.

Match Facts

Arsenal currently holds a commanding lead in the Premier League, but mid-week away trips to London rivals have historically proven to be "banana skin" fixtures.

Brentford has been remarkably consistent at home this season, relying on high-pressing and set-piece efficiency to frustrate the league's "Big Six."

Arsenal boasts the best defensive record in the division, led by the formidable partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães.

Following their high-intensity League Cup semi-final against Chelsea, Mikel Arteta may be forced to rotate his midfield to keep the squad fresh for the weekend.

Predicted Lineup

Brentford (4-3-3): Flekken; Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen; Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Ødegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

Prediction of AI

Arsenal enters the match as clear favorites due to their clinical form and defensive organization. While Brentford is capable of scoring through a set-piece or a quick transition via Bryan Mbeumo, the Gunners' creative quality—specifically through Bukayo Saka—should eventually break down the Bees' resistance.

Score Prediction: Brentford 0 - 2 Arsenal.
