Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta opted to drop influential trio Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Jurriën Timber to the bench for Wednesday night’s Premier League clash with Brentford.
The Bees made the short trip from west to north London for the game at the Emirates Stadium, just as a busy period for both sides heats up now that December is here. Brentford boss Keith Andrews himself opted to rest 11-goal striker Igor Thiago, named among the subs.
