Arsenal will look to avoid any slip-ups in their title charge as they travel to Brentford in the Premier League.
The Gunners have won four on the bounce since suffering their first home defeat of the season to Manchester United and breezed through the test of Sunderland on Saturday.
They could have ended the weekend nine points clear at the top but Liverpool failed to do them a favour against Manchester City, meaning Mikel Arteta’s side are still not yet in a one horse race for the title.
And they’ll need to ensure they don’t stumble against Keith Andrews’ Brentford, whose more old-school tactics have proved tricky to deal with for many top teams this term.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Brentford’s clash with Arsenal kicks off at 8pm GMT on Thursday 12 February at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Arsenal could be set to welcome back captain Martin Odegaard to the fold but Bukayo Saka still remains in doubt. Mikel Merino is out for the season.
