The margin for error continues to shrink for Arsenal in the Premier League title race and next up is a very tricky looking trip across the capital to Brentford. The Bees have been in great form at home this season and look to be a match for anybody at the moment under Thomas Frank. Arsenal meanwhile are still keeping pace with Liverpool over the festive period, but they know that slip ups are simply not an option at the moment.

Brentford vs Arsenal Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Brentford
Thomas Frank continues to do a very good job at Brentford, despite an obvious difference between their home and away form this season. The Bees are in the hunt to crack the top half this term, with European football even on the agenda potentially. Games such as this have the potential to bring out the very best in this dangerous Brentford side and they have absolutely nothing to lose here against Arsenal.
Team news: Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock and Josh Dasilva miss out here for the Bees.
Brentford Predicted Lineup:
Flekken, Van den Berg, Mee, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Janelt, Norgaard, Damsgaard, Mbeumo, Schade & Wissa.
Arsenal
At this point in the season, it doesn’t matter how games are won, and Arsenal were hugely attritional in beating Ipswich last time out but managed to get the job done. The Gunners have some excellent players in their ranks, and they will be looking to rotate their squad here, in an attempt to keep everybody fresh for some big games ahead. This does feel like a potential banana skin for the Gunners though and it will be keenly tracked by punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Ben White, Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu miss out here for Arsenal.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Zinchenko, Merino, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz, Jesus & Martinelli.
Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction
This should be an absolute cracker in West London and Brentford do have plenty of form when it comes to upsetting the Premier League big boys, particularly at home. The Bees have a confident group of players, who are well coached under Thomas Frank, and they will pose Arsenal plenty of problems. However, the Gunners need a win, and they should be able to step it up when it matters in this one.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 1/2 (-200) – Rhino Bet.
Brentford vs Arsenal – The Ultimate Bet
Arsenal to win & BTTS – 17/10 (+170) – Fitzdares
Brentford have been one of the most entertaining sides in the Premier League this season and they will be chasing three points here but Arsenal carry plenty of goal threat too.
