Arsenal aims to strengthen its Premier League Lead Against Brentford. Gunners return to Premier League action on Sunday with a point to prove as the league leaders host Brentford at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners sit on 30 points, showcasing the most consistent performances in the league this season. However, their failure to capitalise on Chelsea’s red card in their previous 1–1 draw remains a missed opportunity — a moment that “felt like leaving food on the table” for a team chasing excellence in a tight title race.
Brentford, meanwhile, enter the weekend in 10th place, 11 points behind Mikel Arteta’s side. Keith Andrews’ team has been unpredictable, capable of upsetting stronger opposition but also prone to costly defensive lapses.
