League leaders Arsenal travelled across the capital to face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium in a midweek Premier League fixture.
Title race pressure on the visitors

Successive away wins at Aston Villa and Newcastle had kept those European hopes alive, with confidence high in west London.

Those three selections combined for a price of around 15/1 with Bet365.
London derby form guide
Brentford’s record in home London derbies was less convincing than their overall form, with one win in their previous 11 such matches, six draws and four defeats.
They were winless in seven home London derbies since a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in August 2024.
Brentford beat Arsenal in their first ever Premier League match in August 2021 but had not beaten the Gunners in nine meetings since, losing five of the last six.
Arsenal, by contrast, had lost just one of their previous 23 Premier League games against fellow London clubs and one of their last 20 away to London opposition.
Defensively they had set the standard, conceding a league-low 17 goals and keeping four clean sheets in their previous five outings.
The form pointed to a tight contest, but Brentford produced the season’s standout upset. More match coverage runs across the site’s football odds and analysis, including the Arsenal v Liverpool odds.
