Arsenal remains the clear favorite to win the Premier League, but the Gunners have won just one of their last three top-flight games to allow Manchester City to cut their lead at the top of the standings to just two points.
Mikel Arteta's men do have a game in hand, though, and a victory over Brentford at the Emirates today will see them reestablish a handsome lead at the top of the standings. Brentford is having a decent season under new manager Keith Andrews, winning six of its 13 league games – but five of those victories have come at home, with only one coming on the road.
The Bees are the third-best team in the league when it comes to points picked up at home, but they are way down in 17th for their away form. All the signs point to a routine Arsenal win – but there are no guarantees in the Premier League. Here's how you can watch the game...
What time is kick-off?
The game between Arsenal and Brentford kicks off at 7.30pm GMT on December 3, which means it's a 2.30pm kick-off Eastern Time, and an 11.30am kick-off Pacific Time.

The game is being shown on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, while fans in the United States can watch the action live through NBC Sports/Peacock.

What the managers said
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta: "I think every game that we play, when you look at the intensity in the Premier League against any opponent, what is needed is incredible. Brentford bring different threats, different challenges, as we all know, and you need to dominate that if you want to win the game.
"Our motivation comes from preparation and how we prepare for every game to try to be better than the opposition. Where we are in the league and what we are doing, I don’t think we need any more motivation than that."
Brentford head coach Keith Andrews: “It’s pretty obvious that it’s going to be a difficult task, but it’s also a task that we need to embrace.
“They’re a tough nut to crack, for sure. They don’t concede too many and don’t concede too many opportunities, but we’re a team that quite fancies ourselves in how we can affect the opposition and make it quite uncomfortable for them at times. That’s what we’ll be hoping to do on Wednesday night."
