How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Arsenal

One of the league's best sides. Arsenal should have most of the ball in front of their own fans at Emirates Stadium, so the question is whether Brentford can stay compact for 90 minutes.

Away

Brentford

Brentford are tough to score against on the road at Emirates Stadium, though they don't create a great deal themselves.

Match preview

Brentford visit Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the 2026/27 Premier League. As the London derby, it carries extra edge, and derbies are usually tighter than the table suggests. Arsenal get a 71% rating from our model, which expects 2.01 goals from Arsenal and 0.59 from Brentford. Team news lands about an hour before kick-off, and a key absence can move this more than anything else, so check the line-ups before you bet.
