Arsenal face a test this weekend as they make the trip to Brentford who are a tough team to beat especially at home, so let’s take a look at the latest team news.
Premier League action had been postponed following the death of the Queen of England and so, the Gunners have had some time to rest. With a fresh attitude, they will look to get back to winning ways after losing to Manchester United.
There is some good news with regard to injuries as Mikel Arteta confirmed that Ben White will be available for the weekend. Alex Zinchenko is also in contention to feature, but the boss confirmed that a decision will be taken on Saturday.
As for other players who might miss out, Emile Smith Rowe is a doubt for the weekend after feeling some discomfort in groin following the United game. The youngster has not yet started a game this season and that looks like its set to continue.
Arsenal Fever View:
It was this game last season that got the north Londoners off to a bad start. Things are very different as the visitors come here on top of the Premier League. Their sheen has been blunted a little by the defeat at Old Trafford so, this is a good chance to bounce back.
But getting a win will not be easy as the hosts are known for their intense pressing. And the threat of forward Ivan Toney always looms large, and the Gunners defence will have to be careful in how they handle him. If that is taken care, it gives Arteta and his men a platform on which they can build attacks.
As for Arsenal and their attack, the equation is simple. Keep doing what they have been doing. The attack is skilful, pacy and mobile and that should help create a lot of opportunities. Despite the nature of the game, the manager and players should be expecting to get the win.
