Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction: The Gunners will win narrowly.

Latest Arsenal vs Brentford team news

Arsenal fans were shocked when William Saliba was not included in the squad for the match against Chelsea; the central defender suffered a minor injury in training and will undergo further examination. It is highly unlikely he will be fit enough to play midweek.

Saliba and his regular partner, Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring), account for half of Arsenal's fitness concerns. Attacking duo Leandro Trossard (muscle) and Kai Havertz (knee) are also likely to be sidelined.

However, recovered players like Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard, and Viktor Gyokeres are all ready to compete for a starting spot as Arteta rotates the squad during this busy fixture schedule. Even Gabriel Jesus – who returned to the bench on Sunday – could be considered.

Riccardo Calafiori will miss the trip to Aston Villa this weekend if he receives another yellow card, so Myles Lewis-Skelly also has a chance of being included in the starting lineup.

For Brentford, striker Reiss Nelson – currently on loan from Arsenal – will not be able to face his parent club, but in reality, he is not a regular starter either.

Nelson is one of four Brentford absentees, along with Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo and Josh Dasilva – all of whom are out until 2026 due to knee injuries.

Manager Andrews typically uses a five-defender formation when facing Big Six teams, so changing the system is entirely possible as they try to limit Arsenal's strength.

Latest predicted lineups for Arsenal vs Brentford

Arsenal:

Raya; White, Mosquera, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Gyokeres, Eze

Latest Arsenal vs Brentford football match prediction

Under normal circumstances, securing a point away at Club World Cup champions Chelsea would have been a commendable result – especially after their demolition of Barcelona – but Sunday's draw felt more like Arsenal dropped two points than gained one.

Chelsea, despite playing with ten men after Moises Caicedo was sent off, temporarily took the lead using Arsenal's own set-piece tactics, with Trevoh Chalobah scoring. However, Mikel Merino also made excellent use of his heading ability to earn a point for the league leaders.

Arsenal's fatigued performance on Sunday likely stemmed from their grueling run of matches against Tottenham, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea – who are also title contenders. Despite this, Arsenal still maintain a very safe five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

That gap would be narrowed to two points if Manchester City beat Fulham on Tuesday night, but Arsenal still have no reason to worry at the Emirates, where they have won nine of their ten games in all competitions this season – including their last seven consecutive wins.

The draw at Stamford Bridge also extended Arsenal's unbeaten run to 17 games since their 0-1 defeat to Liverpool in August. No team has conceded fewer goals at home than Arsenal in the 2025-26 Premier League season, with just two goals against.

Arsenal's consistent home form poses a significant threat to Brentford, who are struggling away from home. Manager Keith Andrews has seen his team lose five of their six away Premier League games this season, including their last two.

Nevertheless, Brentford are still in contention for a European cup spot thanks to their impressive performance at Gtech Community Stadium. In their match against Burnley, a "crazy" last 10 minutes helped Brentford come from behind to win 3-1.

A new milestone was set by striker Igor Thiago, who reached 10 Premier League goals in just 13 games – the fastest in Brentford history to score in a single season.

Brentford's sixth win of the season kept them in the top half after matchday 13, although Zian Fleming's equalizer extended their clean sheet streak to five games. In the 2025-26 season, Brentford's only away clean sheet has come against West Ham.

Furthermore, Brentford would have to go back to 1938 to find their last away win against Arsenal. Since Brentford became Arsenal's first Premier League victim in August 2021, the Gunners have gone seven games unbeaten against them.
