Arsenal welcome Brentford to the Emirates tonight as they look to re-establish a five point lead at the summit of the Premier League.
After a bruising draw for the Gunners against Chelsea on Sunday, Manchester City (just about) made the most of it to hold on and beat Fulham at Craven Cottage on Tuesday.
The gap at the top is two points ahead of kick-off but Arsenal can spring clear again with a win over the Bees.
Keith Andrews’ side have already beaten Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United this season – albeit with all those wins coming at home.
It is one of six Premier League games taking place this evening with third place Chelsea in action against Leeds United.
