That actually happened, right?
Fresh off a commanding 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, Arsenal return to Premier League action this Saturday as they host Brentford at the Emirates Stadium. With the second leg at the Bernabéu looming, manager Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad, similar to the approach taken in last week's fixture against Everton. The Gunners have enjoyed a strong record against the Bees since their promotion, securing five wins and a draw in league encounters, including a 3-1 triumph in the reverse fixture on New Year's Day. The team also receives a boost with defender Riccardo Calafiori returning to full training. A solid performance is crucial for Arsenal to maintain or potentially extend their four-point lead over Nottingham Forest in the race for second place.
Brentford, under the astute leadership of Thomas Frank, have solidified their Premier League status, currently sitting comfortably in 12th place and ensuring a fifth consecutive season in the top flight. Notably, the Bees have displayed a penchant for strong away performances; since their last meeting with Arsenal, they have recorded five wins, three draws, and four losses in the league, with all five victories coming on the road. This away form, coupled with the potential for an emotional dip following Arsenal's midweek exploits, suggests that the Gunners will need to be vigilant to secure a positive result.
Enjoy the late kick-off and spend some of your Saturday with the best supporters in Boston!
