Brentford vs Arsenal Predictions

• Arsenal have lost one of their last ten Premier League away games
• Both teams have scored in just four of Brentford’s last 14 matches
• The Gunners have scored at least twice in nine of their last 12 outings

Arsenal show no sign of slowing

Arsenal enjoyed a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League following the weekend’s fixtures and are copping well with attacking on four different front, so a first title since 2004 looks firmly within their grasp.

The Gunners have conceded just 17 goals in 25 games and are also full of goals, so while Thursday’s hosts are enjoying an excellent season, it is difficult to see the Bees keeping their London rivals at bay.

Mikel Arteta’s side have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five league matches and three of their last four on the road, so there looks a strong chance they will emerge from the Gtech Community Stadium with another clean sheet, following comfortable wins over Leeds and Sunderland in their last two league outings.

Bees may not be able to trouble Gunners

Brentford have coped admirably with so much summer upheaval which saw manager Thomas Frank and key forward Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa leave the club, but they started the week seventh when many anticipated their top-flight status would be under threat.

However, they failed to score at home to Chelsea and Tottenham since the turn of the year and Manchester City also emerged without conceding early in the season.

Arsenal were rampant in a 4-0 success at Leeds in their last away game, but that was only the second occasion they have scored more than twice on the road, so correct-score punters are pointed towards an efficient 2-0 away success.

Gyokeres is finding his feet

Striker Viktor Gyokeres arrived at Arsenal with big expectations in the summer and, after a rocky start, the Swede had hit some decent form.

Arteta has rotated his squad during the recent busy programme, but Gyokeres scored twice as a substitute in the 3-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday and makes a strong case for a starting spot on Thursday.

He has netted in five of his last eight appearances and can make his mark again.
