Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Smith Rowe starts

Arsenal will be eyeing back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they entertain Brentford this afternoon.

The Gunners are presently four points adrift of the final Champions League spot, but have three games in hand.

Predicted Line-up:

Aaron Ramsdale has been an undisputed choice for the goalkeeping duties since September. He has already kept 11 clean sheets, and is expected to continue ahead of Bernd Leno.

In front of him, it could be the same backline from the Wolves game. Takehiro Tomiyasu is fit after an extended absence with a calf injury, but he could be eased into the proceedings. Cedric Soares should start at right-back ahead of him.

The midfield should likewise remain unchanged. Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka are undisputed picks in the centre of the park. The duo have had issues with discipline, but there are no doubts over their positions in the starting line-up.

Further forward, there will be an enforced change with Gabriel Martinelli's suspension. Judging by recent games, Emile Smith Rowe appears a straightforward replacement for the Brazilian in the left-wing role. The rest of the attack should stay the same.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; Soares, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Lacazette.
