Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made four changes to the starting line-up for tonight’s Premier League clash against Brentford on the road.

The Gunners are three points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the standings and can extend the gap to six with a victory over the Bees.

Ahead of the game, Arteta has made four changes from the 3-0 Premier League win over Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium.

David Raya continues in goal for the north London giants.

However, there are a couple of changes in the backline. William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori have been replaced with Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie. Saliba has not made the squad due to illness.

Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice continue in the centre of the park, but have a new midfield partner in Eberechi Eze with Kai Havertz ruled out for the next three matches with a fresh muscular injury.

Noni Madueke and Leandro Trossard continue on the right and left wing, but there is a change in the number nine role. Viktor Gyokeres starts ahead of Gabriel Jesus after scoring a brace last weekend.

There is more good news with both Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka on the bench after missing the last few matches due to injuries.

Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Brentford: Raya; Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice, Eze; Madueke, Gyokeres, Trossard.
