Why you should back Arsenal
The Gunners are unbeaten in the past four meetings in this London derby and have lost to the Bees just once (6-2-1) since 1939. They have outscored Brentford 7-2 in the past four (3-1-0). Arsenal have the fifth-most goals in the Premier League (26) and are tied for fewest conceded (10). The teams met in the League Cup in September, a 1-0 Gunners victory at Gtech. Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus are expected to be back for Arsenal, so the attack should be almost at full strength.
Youngster Eddie Nketiah leads Arsenal with five league goals, and Odegaard (three goals, one assist) and Bukayo Saka (four goals, four assists) are the keys to the attack. The Gunners are third in the league in possession at nearly 61 percent, while the Bees are in the EPL's bottom half at less than 48. Arsenal held 70% possession and outshot Brentford 23-10 in the last league meeting, when Ivan Toney scored a controversial equalizer in a 1-1 draw. Toney is out on a long-term suspension.

Why you should back Brentford
With the exception of the loss to Liverpool, the Bees have been strong against some of the league's top teams. They opened the season with a 2-2 draw with Spurs and beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge last month. That was part of a three-game win streak that led into their trip to Anfield. They'll try to bounce back at home, where they have lost once in six matches (2-3-1) and have a 12-10 goal advantage. Just eight of Arsenal's 26 goals have come in road matches.
The Bees outshot the Gunners 18-10 overall and 4-3 on target in the League Cup meeting, despite holding just 40% possession. Brentford are dangerous on the counter-attack, and Bryan Mbeumo, Yoanne Wissa and Mathias Jensen are capable scorers. Mbeumo has six goals, tied for sixth in the league, and Wissa and Jensen have three apiece. The Gunners have a Champions League match on Wednesday and will need to be mindful of playing time for some key players. See which team to pick here.
