Arsenal are in Premier League action against Brentford with the Gunners currently on a two-game losing streak.

Arsenal head into the weekend’s clash against Brentford in unfamiliar territory. Having been virtually faultless so far this season, the Gunners have lost two games on the bounce in all competitions.

The slide needs to stop.

Welcoming Brentford to the Emirates on Saturday presents the perfect chance to get back in the win column…but it won’t be easy.

Currently seventh, the visitors will put up a stern test for Mikel Arteta’s side, but it is still a game Arsenal should win if they have title hopes.

With so many storylines surrounding the game, here are three things to look for.

The Response

Back-to-back losses and also no goals in either game is unfamiliar territory for Arsenal this season. So how will the squad react? The right way, we hope.

Despite losing two games on the bounce, the performances have been worthy of winning games, things just haven’t fallen the Gunners’ way.

That, hopefully will change on Saturday and given that Manchester City play the following day against Aston Villa, a chance to put pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side is there…which is why they need to take care of business.

Continued on next slide…
