The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an intriguing fixture at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsenal vs Brentford Preview
Arsenal are currently in third place in the Premier League standings and have been in exceptional form over the past month. The Gunners thrashed Sheffield United by a 6-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
Brentford, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side held Chelsea to an admirable 2-2 draw last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
