Arsenal will entertain Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they look to earn all three points at home in the Premier League. The Gunners suffered a narrow 1-0 loss at the hands of Everton recently, so they will be eager to bounce back in the league this weekend.
Mikel Arteta will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Eddie Nketiah will once again get a chance to lead the line for the North London club in the final third.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Brentford
Defence
Aaron Ramsdale will function in between the sticks for the Gunners after shipping in one goal in his last league outing. William Saliba will resume his defensive partnership with Gabriel at the centre of Arsenal’s backline as they try to keep the opposition attackers at bay during the 90 minutes.
Ben White will continue to function as the right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them could get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Takehiro Tomiyasu and Rob Holding will be available for selection on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard will make up Arsenal’s midfield as they focus on dominating the battle at the centre of the park and orchestrate enough clear-cut chances to win this contest.
Odegaard will be Arteta’s primary playmaker in the final third. The Gunners will also have Jorginho and Fabio Vieira on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will operate as the left-sided wide player while Bukayo Saka looks to give a good account of himself as the right-winger. Both of them will try to get in behind the Brentford backline at every chance they get and cause a lot of chaos inside their penalty box.
Eddie Nketiah will act as the focal point of Arsenal’s attack once again this weekend in the injury absence of Gabriel Jesus, who is still recovering from a knee problem. Leandro Trossard will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
