Arsenal is now a much better team when compared to the starting eleven that took on Brentford at the start of the season and the team that got battered by Manchester City. While they did lose against City twice, the reverse fixture was so close that the Gunners nearly managed to give it back to City if not for a last-minute Rodri goal and some timely intervention from VAR. 

However, the big picture is that Arsenal are now a different team and Brentford have an important task at hand when they eventually enter the Emirates stadium. 

Kicking off Matchday 26 of 38

Matchday 26 promises to be an entertaining one with several fixtures being lined up for action. From Arsenal vs Brentford to Manchester City vs Tottenham to even Leeds United vs Manchester United, this game week is one for the ages. Not only does it bring historic rivalries but also a few interesting fixtures that are certainly going to set the bar for the remainder of the league. 

So grab hold of the popcorn because you may need something to fill your mouth each time it opens with amazement. 

When and Where

Arsenal vs Brentford is going to take place on the 19th of February at the Emirates Stadium. 

Let’s analyse the teams

With Arsenal looking like the former selves, it is safe to say that all eyes are on Brentford to pack the guns and get ready for battle. In fact, so much has changed since the start of the season. From calling Arsenal relegation contenders to choosing players from their squad to be named in either fantasy sports or football betting, the league has surprisingly turned upside down.

Brentford is not holding back either because the former Championship team is now all geared up to show the league how life in the Premier League can be easy. They have managed to upset a few big teams and grab all the points that they possibly can, making it important to name a strong squad before coming to face them. 

From Yoane Wissa to Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford has put together an impressive system of attack that Thomas Frank has been practising to perfection. The Bees have all the components of being called a Premier League team starting from defence and going all the way to attack. 

However, this time around, they are bound to face a set of individuals who are young and won’t stop at anything because a top-four finish is what they need. Hence, Arsenal has certainly changed and Mikel Arteta has brought forward a new lease of life as they look to get back into European football.

By bringing together the right group of youngsters and helping them get used to his formations and playing style, Arteta has certainly worked his magic around the squad. He looks to start the attack with ease and keep the momentum going in a manner that would not prompt the opponent to enjoy a higher rate of possession. 

So if Arteta’s system works, Thomas Frank and co would not find it easy to score goals at the Emirates stadium and be the competitive side that they were during the first game of the season. Hence, Arsenal vs Brentford is certainly going to be an exciting game and if you want to understand just how exciting it can be, you need to place bets with a little help from BritainBet. 

Brentfotd vs Arsenal - 2-0 

Considering the fact that the Bees and Gunners have only played one game so far, it makes sense to analyse the same. However, you will not be getting a clear picture because Arsenal has improved and looks set to turn things around. 

So the defensive faults that we got to see on the 13th of August 2021 when Brentford took on Arsenal at the Brentford Community Stadium might not be what you see again on the 19th of February 2022. 

Creating a stable defensive partnership with the likes of Ben White and Gabriel, Arsenal look set to keep things under control and win every game that they possibly can win.
