Arsenal will visit Brentford on Thursday night, looking to maintain their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners enter February with strong momentum, having won four games in a row. Their recent 3–0 win over Sunderland solidified their title pursuit, putting them nine points ahead before Manchester City‘s comeback at Anfield. Arsenal aims for a fourth consecutive clean sheet, a defensive achievement they last accomplished during a record streak in late 2024.
Arsenal Team News
Manager Mikel Arteta is dealing with fitness issues affecting key players. Bukayo Saka is out with a hip injury, while Martin Ødegaard is a significant doubt after missing the last two matches due to a minor muscle problem. This likely means Kai Havertz will continue in a deeper midfield role. Leandro Trossard is also a concern after leaving the match against Sunderland with a calf injury.
David Raya will start in goal, with Riccardo Calafiori expected to be in defense, although Piero Hincapie is also an option. In midfield, Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi will aim to control the play. Up front, Viktor Gyökeres returns to the starting eleven after scoring twice off the bench last weekend, supported by Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup
Arsenal predicted XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Havertz, Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Gyokeres, Martinelli
