Premier League leaders Arsenal will look to end a peculiar Thursday curse when they visit Brentford for a London derby at the Gtech Community Stadium. While unbeaten in their last 12 midweek league matches, the Gunners have failed to win or score in their last three games played on a Thursday.
Arsenal are clear favourites with bookmakers (4/6 for the win), while Brentford are 19/5 to cause an upset and a draw is 14/5 with William Hill. The Gunners come into this match on a high after a 3-0 win over Sunderland, with Viktor Gyokeres netting twice and Martin Zubimendi also scoring. Despite Manchester City’s comeback at Anfield dampening celebrations, Arsenal remain six points clear at the top and have now strung together four straight wins and three consecutive clean sheets.
Arsenal have avoided defeat in 19 of their last 20 away London derbies and are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Brentford, including a 3-1 win at the Gtech in January. However, Brentford have impressed on the road with recent wins at Aston Villa and Newcastle, though their home form has faltered—they’ve won just two of their last five at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees currently sit seventh, five points off fourth place.
