Arsenal vs Brentford confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture

Arsenal will look to get back to winning ways when the Premier League leaders host Brentford FC on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta’s team were beaten by Everton last weekend - as Sean Dyche guided the Toffees to victory in his first match in charge.

It was only the second time Arsenal had lost in the Premier League since September, but Manchester City’s defeat at Tottenham meant that they kept their five-point lead at the top.
