Brentford Vs. Arsenal match preview
The Premier League is kicking off on Friday night with Brentford facing Arsenal at Brentford Community Stadium. The Bees have found themselves back in the top division of English football since 1947 and their opener will be put to test by the Gunners.
In pre-season, the Bees have found themselves playing five Club Friendly Games winning thrice, drawn once, and suffered a single loss against West Ham United. In the Championship last season, they played the last showdown with Swansea City the match that ended 2-0.
The Gunners are here again in a new season expecting a difference this time around, after having a tough pre-season; losing against Hibernian, Chelsea, and Tottenham in Club Friendly Games.
Arsenal managed to settle on 8th position with 61 points in the Premier League last season, missing a spot in the next Champions League. In the last match of the league, they were able to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0; a brace from Nicolas Pepe was enough for Arteta’s men to close the season in style.
