Arsenal face Brentford on Saturday afternoon knowing they can go eight points clear at the top and put the pressure back onto Manchester City who prepare for the visit of Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. The two title challengers play one another in midweek and the difficulty will be keeping the focus away from that major battle.
However, the Arsenal lads looked in high spirits in training ahead of the weekend. There were some notable omissions but some familiar faces returned to the action in addition to one big positive which wasn’t as sure last week.
The availability of the group is sure to be scrutinised in Mikel Arteta’s press conference on Friday. However, until then, football.london has taken a look through the recent selection of training images to see what we could spot.
