Brentford will wait another week to hand Christian Eriksen his competitive debut, with the Newcastle fixture their target, and in the meantime must hope to channel their early-season vim. They are still outsiders for relegation but have won only one in their past nine and face opponents whose tails are up in the top-four race. Arsenal will be wary of the set pieces and tempo that caused them to flop on the opening weekend but are a different proposition to the side whose prospects looked so uncertain back then. Nick Ames
