Venue: | Gtech Community Stadium |
Prediction: | Brentford 1-2 Arsenal |
Bookmaker: |
Brentford were beaten by Everton for the second time in a row last Saturday in what can only described as a demoralizing game for the Bees. Everton should have registered a win in their previous five Premier League games before visiting Brentford.
But they looked set to hand the game to Thomas Frank’s side when they visited the Gtech Community Stadium at the weekend. Mathias Jensen canceled Abdoulaye Doucoure’s opener within the first half-hour of play.
But Everton kept up the pressure, and goals in the 67th and 71st minutes from James Tarkowski and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ensured Sean Dyche’s side took all three points.
Everton joined an elite group of just three clubs since the start of the year to take on Brentford at the Bees’ home ground, the Gtech Community Stadium.
Brentford only reached the third round of the League Cup last season, and they hope to do better this season. But this Thursday, they face one of the best teams in the Premier League.
Arsenal drew 2-2 with North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. James Maddison and Son Heung-min’s fledgling partnership helped Spurs equalize twice in a game that could have been a reversal.
The Gunners are unbeaten into the new season, but their performances have yet to match their lofty ambitions.
Mikel Arteta’s side will be looking to prove a point against the Bees on Thursday. Arsenal were eliminated by Brighton in the third round of the League Cup last season.
Arsenal may not be at their best, but they are still a tough team to beat. Both teams have their fair share of injury issues. Brentford will lose the likes of Kevin Schade, Shandon Baptiste, Rico Henry, Ben Mee, Mikkel Damsgard, and Josh Dasilva.
The Gunners will lose Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Tossard, Thomas Partey, and Jurrien Timber. Declan Rice is also doubtful with a back issue. With all the changes both teams need to make, Brentford looked more worn heading into Thursday’s game.
