Arsenal shifts their focus back to Premier League action on Saturday evening as they welcome Brentford for a London derby at the Emirates. Mikel Arteta’s side are riding high after a stunning 3-0 European victory over Real Madrid.

Arsenal Team Analysis
Arsenal aims to keep their slim hopes of a Premier League and Champions League double alive. They gained ground on Liverpool last weekend, narrowing the gap after the Reds lost 3-2 to Fulham. Despite this, an 11-point deficit with seven games left seems a tough mountain to climb. Arteta’s lineup against Everton hinted at prioritising Europe, though Arsenal’s top-four spot looks secure with a 10-point cushion over sixth-placed Manchester City.
History favours the Gunners, who have only ever lost once at home to Brentford, a 2-0 defeat in 1938. Arsenal made a statement of intent in their recent 3-0 triumph over Real Madrid in the UCL. We predicted a draw for the Arteta boys in our Arsenal vs. Real Madrid prediction, but they came out all guns blazing. Squad rotation is expected on Saturday, with the second leg looming in Madrid.
Arsenal Line-Up Prediction
Raheem Sterling returns from UCL suspension, but Havertz, Gabriel, Calafiori, Tomiyasu, and Jesus remain sidelined through injury.
Possible starting lineup: Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Merino; Martinelli, Trossard, Sterling.

Brentford Team Analysis
With little left to play for, Brentford remain comfortably mid-table after an inconsistent campaign. Thomas Frank’s men have won just once in their last five Premier League outings, following a hard-fought draw with Chelsea last Sunday. Despite key saves from Mark Flekken, Sepp van den Berg missed a golden chance to snatch victory late on, as Brentford’s winless home run extended to nine games.
Their recent 1-0 defeat at Newcastle ended a six-match unbeaten away streak. The Bees are now 12th on the log, nine points off seventh, but just three from the top half. This weekend presents a rare chance to claim a first-ever win at the Emirates.
Line Up Prediction
Carvalho, Thiago, and Dasilva remain out for Brentford, while Nunes and Hickey are near a return to full fitness.
Possible starting lineup: Flekken; Ajer, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Janelt; Damsgaard, Mbeumo, Schade; Wissa.

Arsenal vs Brentford Betting Tips & Predictions
After evaluating the recent performance of both teams, here are our insightful Arsenal vs Brentford prediction:
- Match Result – Draw @ 4.10 (31/10) — With one eye on seeing out the game against Madrid in the 2nd leg, Arsenal is likelier to rest key players. This might give Brentford, who are well rested, the edge to come at full strength to aim at full points. However, we expect the Gunners to defend their turf as they remain unbeaten against Brentford at home in 87 years. Notably, the Gunners have drawn three of their previous six matches. So, we expect another stalemate this weekend against the Bees.
- Both Teams To Score—Yes @ 1.90 (8/9) – Historically, this match has been a feast of goals from both ends. Three of their last four league meetings have yielded goals from both teams. Similarly, three of Arsenal’s last four EPL games have followed the same trend. Brentford have also seen a similar scoreline in three of their previous five. So, we expect both teams to find the net on Saturday.
- Bryan Mbeumo To Score or Assist @ 2.87 (13/7) – Mbeumo has scored 16 EPL goals this season with five assists. Nine came on home turf, while seven were scored in away fixtures. The Cameroonian netted in the first leg of this fixture, so we expect him to score or assist in the return leg this weekend.
Final Thoughts & Recommended Arsenal vs Brentford Betting Tips
Arsenal is likely to field a weaker team, but their dominance against Brentford and home advantage increase their chance to claim a point in this match. So, here are our suitable Arsenal vs Brentford betting picks ahead of the clash.
