Arsenal have named Gabriel Jesus and captain Martin Odegaard in their starting line-up for today's game against Brentford.
Jesus had been a doubt after injuring his hamstring on October 24 when Arsenal beat Sevilla 2-1 in the Champions League.

The Brazilian striker has not played for Arsenal since then, but he managed 90 minutes for Brazil on Tuesday night in their 1-0 defeat to Argentina.
Mikel Arteta has now confirmed his comeback for the Gunners as they travel to the Bees in the late kick-off, knowing a win will send them top of the table.
Joining Jesus in the team is Leandro Trossard as Arteta names an attacking XI in west London.
As well as Jesus, the Gunners will welcome back captain Odegaard.
Odegaard missed the last three Arsenal games due to concussion protocols and was also absent from Norway’s matches against the Faroe Islands and Scotland last week, having also suffered from a hip injury.
Ben White missed Arsenal’s last game, a 3-1 win over Burnley, and is only on the bench after a knee issue.
