Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Trossard and Tomiyasu start

Arsenal will be aiming to return to winning ways when they entertain Brentford in the Premier League this afternoon.

The north London giants are currently five points clear at the top of the table and will be hoping to extend the gap at the Emirates Stadium.

Predicted Line-up:

Aaron Ramsdale has played every minute of the top-flight campaign and he is expected to continue between the sticks today.

In defence, there could be one change with Ben White dropping out for Takehiro Tomiyasu at right-back after unconvincing displays.

The rest of the backline should remain identical. William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko are expected to start.

Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka should be assured starters in midfield but there could be a solitary change in attack against the Bees.

Gabriel Martinelli has underperformed in recent outings and he could make way for Leandro Trossard on the left side of the attack.

Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah should make up the rest of the front four. Emile Smith Rowe has been ruled out.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Trossard; Nketiah.
