Yet to win an away game this season, it’s been a very different story at home for Brentford. The Bees have been sensational in front of their fans, taking 22 points from a possible 27 on offer. Manager Thomas Frank will hope this incredible form can continue in 2025 and will be confident that the likes of Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa can cause Arsenal problems.
For the third season running, Arsenal are in the title race and have now gone eight games unbeaten in the league. They secured a thumping 5-1 win over Crystal Palace just before Christmas but struggled to create clear-cut chances in the 1-0 win over Ipswich. The Gunners clearly missed the injured Bukayo Saka and will need some big performances from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus in his absence.
Last season saw the Gunners earn a hard-fought 1-0 win at Brentford. Will they gain all three points this time around? Tune in to find out.
Here's how to watch Brentford vs Arsenal live streams where you are. Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.
