Brentford have had a mixed start to the season and are currently sat in 12th position but there is no denying their home form has been brilliant.

The Bees have won seven of their nine home games, drawing one and losing one, their latest game at the Gtech being a 2-0 defeat to the in-form Nottingham Forest.

Thomas Frank's side have turned the Gtech into somewhat of a fortress and it will be a tough place for Arsenal to go on New Year's Day. Despite having won at the ground on three occasions since, some of the Gunners squad will have the scathing 2-0 defeat they suffered on the opening day of the 2021/22 season in their minds, making them weary of the threat Brentford pose when playing in their own territory. It will be a tough game for Arsenal.
