Brentford and Arsenal will battle for three points in a Premier League round 26 London derby on Thursday (February 12th). The game will be played at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The home side will be looking to build on the 3-2 comeback away win they registered against Newcastle over the weekend. They went behind to Sven Botman's 24th-minute strike, but Vitaly Janelt and Igor Thiago scored to put them 2-1 up at the break. Bruno Guimaraes equalized from the spot in the 79th minute, while Dango Ouattara scored the match-winner in the 85th minute.
Arsenal, meanwhile, saw off Sunderland with a 3-0 home win. Martin Zubimendi broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute, while Viktor Gyokeres scored a second-half brace to complete the scoring.
The victory left the Gunners at the summit of the standings, having garnered 56 points from 25 games. Brentford are seventh with 39 points to their name.

Brentford vs Arsenal Prediction
Brentford are firmly in the European qualification race. Their win over Newcastle put them level on points with sixth-placed Liverpool and just six points behind Manchester United in fourth.
Arsenal are getting closer to a long-elusive league title. The Gunners now hold a six-point advantage at the top of the standings. However, the fact that this game falls on a Thursday could be a cause for concern, as they are winless and scoreless in their last three games played on Thursday (two losses).
We are backing the visitors to buck that trend with a routine victory and clean sheet.
