Arsenal vs Brentford: Kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h and much more
Prologue
The games are coming thick and fast for Mikel Arteta's Gunners, with yet another London derby - their third on the bounce in the Premier League, after beating Spurs 4-1, and drwing 1-1 at Chelsea last time out.
In-form Premier League table toppers Arsenal have won their last seven matches at home across all competitions, with that impressive stretch also meaning that the North London giants have extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to 17 matches - with Arteta keen for his team to post an eighth home win on the bounce.
For their part, Brentford have won three of their last five league games, can count Liverpool and Manchester United as their big name scalps this season, as well as a 2-2 draw vs Chelsea at the G-Tech earlier this season, and will come into the match full of confidence they can unsettle Arsenal with their own set piece plays.
It promises to be a fascinating clash, one that the Gunners need to win.

Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson is ineligible to feature against his parent club.
What the managers say:
Mikel Arteta:
An opportunity tomorrow at 730pm, everybody, 730pm kick-off to be at the Emirates, bouncing and putting energy to win the game.
That’s the opportunity that we have tomorrow, 730pm. Like animals, everybody at the Emirates to go again and beat Brentford [it’s] vital, massive.
Keith Andrews
It’s pretty obvious that it’s going to be a difficult task, but it’s also a task that we need to embrace.
They’re a tough nut to crack, for sure. They don’t concede too many and don’t concede too many opportunities, but we’re a team that quite fancies ourselves in how we can affect the opposition and make it quite uncomfortable for them at times.
That’s what we’ll be hoping to do on Wednesday night.
I’ve watched them a lot since the Burnley game. They’re a very good team with outstanding individuals, and the way they are set up without the ball.
There will always be a lot made of that: the set-piece battle, with two teams who are invariably pretty good at that aspect of the game.
In most games, set-pieces play a part to different levels.
I think this will be a game where it plays a very big part, and we hope we can come out on the right side of it.
