Arsenal will be eyeing a third-straight Premier League win when they face Brentford on the road this evening.

The Gunners are nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool in the standings and today’s game is a must-win to keep up in the title race.

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya is an assured starter in goal for the north London giants. He has kept seven clean sheets in the league and will be eyeing another against the Bees.

The backline could stay unchanged with Jurrien Timber and Myles Lewis-Skelly continuing in the full-back roles. William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are expected to start in central defence.

Manager Mikel Arteta may want more defensive presence in the centre of the park. We could see Thomas Partey come in to partner Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in the heart of the Arsenal midfield.

Kai Havertz is more likely to lead the attack. Gabriel Jesus could start on the left wing with Leandro Trossard dropping out. Gabriel Martinelli gets out nod on the right wing in Bukayo Saka‘s injury absence.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Brentford: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Partey, Odegaard, Rice; Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus.
