Strengths and weaknesses

The Gunners have been lethal in attack, scoring a league-high 72 goals this season. However, their defense has occasionally struggled, conceding 33 goals – the second-highest tally in the top six.

Prediction for Arsenal

Arsenal's stellar recent form and the in-form attacking duo of Martinelli and Odegaard give them a slight edge in this match.

Strengths and weaknesses

The Bees have been solid at both ends of the pitch, scoring 48 goals and conceding 46. However, their away form has been inconsistent, with just five wins from 15 matches on the road.

Prediction for Brentford

While Brentford have shown they can trouble the big teams, Arsenal's recent form and home advantage could make this a difficult match for the visitors.
