The Matchday 14 Premier League clash between Arsenal and Brentford will take place on December 3 at the Emirates Stadium in London. Arsenal vs. Brentford: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Arsenal
The Londoners continue to lead the Premier League, but their gap to the nearest rival is now 5 points. On Sunday, the team faced Chelsea away and settled for a 1-1 draw with their city rivals, despite playing with a numerical advantage for over 50 minutes. Thus, the club's unbeaten run in the league now stands at 10 matches, with 7 wins and 3 draws. Arsenal remains the best in the Premier League in terms of defense, having conceded only 7 goals.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 5 of Arsenal's last 7 league games.
- At home, Arsenal has won 6 of their last 7 Premier League matches.
- The club has kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 home league matches.
Predicted lineup for Arsenal (4-3-3)
David Raya – Jurrien Timber, Piero Hincapié, Cristian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori – Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze – Gabriel Martinelli, Eberechi Eze, Bukayo Saka.
Forward Leandro Trossard and defender Gabriel Magalhães are injured. Forward Kai Havertz's participation in the match is in doubt.
Brentford
Keith Andrews' side has gone nine consecutive league matches without a draw, and they haven't lost two games in a row during this period (5 wins and 4 losses). In the previous round, the team hosted Burnley and comfortably dealt with one of the league's strugglers, winning 3-1. Incidentally, this was their third consecutive home victory, in which the club scored 3 goals each time. Brentford is currently tenth in the league table, but they are only 5 points away from the European competition zone.
- At least three goals have been scored in 8 of Brentford's last 11 league games.
- Brentford has only 1 win in their last 7 away Premier League matches (1 draw and 5 losses).
- Both teams scored in 5 of Brentford's last 7 away league games.

Arsenal vs. Brentford: Match Prediction
Despite the difference in league standings and the 11-point advantage for the Gunners, victory in this match is unlikely to come easily. The teams have faced each other 8 times in the Premier League, but Arsenal has only managed to defeat this opponent by two or more goals on two occasions. Meanwhile, Brentford has scored in 6 of their head-to-head encounters. I believe both London clubs will score in this derby.
Mikel Arteta's side has failed to score only once in their last 24 league matches. Arsenal has also conceded in three consecutive Premier League games. Brentford, on the other hand, is very productive even away from home, scoring in 15 of their last 16 away league matches. Moreover, the team has conceded in 6 of their last 7 away league games.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
