Brentford vs Arsenal Match Preview and Team News
Brentford
The new season is here, and for the first time since 1947, Brentford will be playing in the top flight, starting it off with a home game against Arsenal. The fans are back, and it will be an interesting feel as both teams try to get off to a flying start. After winning the playoffs last season, Brentford finally secured promotion and has strengthened in the shape of center-back Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic and midfielder Frank Onyeka from Midtjylland. They’ve also managed to hold on to their top players, most notably Ivan Toney, who scored 33 goals last season in the Championship. Brentford has had a good preseason, playing six friendly matches and winning four. They only lost once – to West Ham United and wrapped it up with a 2-1 win over Valencia ahead of the league start. They have had consistency in attack, only failing to score in one of the six matches, while they scored two or more in four. Vitaly Janelt plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup.
Arsenal
On the other hand, Arsenal seems to still have the issues that affected their season last term, and they go to this game winless in their four preseason-friendly matches. The Gunners lost three and drew one of their four preseason games; they had no clean sheet and conceded twice in three of them. They failed to score in one, and the bluntness that was so evident in the attack last season stays on as Mikel Arteta’s side heads into the new campaign. Ben White, a center-back, has been the key addition for Arsenal, joining from Brighton, while Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares have also been brought in from Anderlecht and Benfica. Emile Smith Rowe shows her talent and should be one of the leading players in the future. Nicolas Pepe showed why he was brought in. He has good dribbling, and speed is his advantage.
