Let’s go back to the start of the 2021/22 season. Brentford debuted in the Premier League with a home match against ambitious Arsenal. And the Bees celebrated an unlikely 2-0 win after Mikel Arteta’s team failed to show up. This year, the Gunners are a different animal – one that could roar back to the top of the standings by settling the score at Brentford Community Stadium.Miamba wa soka Ligue 1 Olympique Lyon na PSG watavutana mashati usiku wa leo.

That physicality will be essential in trying to stop inform striker Ivan Toney.”You have to be very equipped in the head as well because if you have to be physical, you might not read the situation and be too late. It’s a balance you need. I’ve seen a lot of Brentford’s games – and when Toney goes out to shield against any defender, he can hold the ball and make sure you feel it. I’ll prepare my players so when that ball is there you have to be ready. You have to win the duels.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6651208##Following the defeat at Old Trafford two weeks ago, Brentford will surely be another tough test for Arsenal. Thomas Frank’s side have already thrashed the Red Devils this season and will have their sights set on another valuable scalp. The Danish coach hailed Arteta and believes the Spaniard has transformed the Gunners into Premier League title contenders this season.”In spells, they’ve been the best performing team over the first six games. Arteta and his coaching staff have proved they have done well. And the board behind him they are consistent in how they work. They are building a team that’s young, very exciting, and that has key players in good positions. So he’s done a top job.”🚨 MATCHDAY! 🆚 Brentford🕛 12pm (UK)🏆 Premier League 🏟 Brentford Community Stadium#BREARS pic.twitter.com/ft3ZNNZaUc— Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 18, 2022 Oleksandr Zinchenko and Thomas Partey remain doubts for Arsenal today, with calf and thigh injuries, respectively, with Emile Smith Rowe out.
