With Manchester City taking on Liverpool this weekend, Arsenal will have a chance to close the gap at the top of the Premier League table with a win over Brentford. Find Arsenal vs Brentford betting tips and preview below, along with the latest match odds.
Arsenal vs Brentford Preview
Arsenal come into the late Premier League kick off on Saturday as heavy favourites according to Lucky Block’s Arsenal vs Brentford odds, with the Gunners priced at just 11/50 to win.
Mikel Arteta’s side have been in arguably the best form they have ever enjoyed under their Spanish boss through the start of 2024 and their impressive run in the league is showing no signs of slowing down.
Arsenal have won their last seven consecutive league games and their scoring form in that time has been quite simply staggering.
With 31 goals in their last seven Premier League games Arsenal have gone clear at the top of the goal difference table, which could prove to be crucial in the title race at the end of this season.
It hasn’t been all plain sailing for the Gunners this season though, as they have been left with a tough hill to climb in the second leg of their Champions League tie against Porto, with a 1-0 deficit to turn around at home on Tuesday.
Brentford on the other hand are struggling in the league and they haven’t picked up all three points in a game since the beginning of February.
The Bees were able to hold on to a 2-2 draw in their last league outing against Chelsea but Thomas Frank’s side will be disappointed they couldn’t secure the win after leading with just ten minutes left to play.
Despite having Ivan Toney back in their ranks, Brentford have struggled to find results in the league and they now sit just six points off the relegation zone.
Arsenal vs Brentford Tips and Predictions
- Arsenal To Win To Nil @ 26/25
- Kai Havertz To Score Anytime @ 7/5
Arsenal To Win To Nil
The hosts this weekend will be full of confidence when they welcome Brentford to the Emirates on Saturday afternoon, having won four of the last five head to head meetings against the Bees.
The Gunners famously lost to Brentford in the first game of the 2020/21 season but since then Arsenal haven’t lost, with four wins and a draw over the past two years.
Our first tip for Saturday’s 17:30 kick off is for Arsenal to win to nil – a selection that has emphatically won in three of their last four games. Lucky Block are offering great value for Arsenal to win to nil, at odds of 26/25.
Arsenal have beat Brentford to nil in each of their last three wins over the Bees, although all three have come away from home at the Gtech Stadium.
The Gunners are scoring goals for fun at the minute but their defensive record is almost as impressive as their attack this year.
No side in the Premier League has allowed for less shots than Arsenal this season, with their opponents averaging just three shots on goal per 90 minutes.
With two 6-0 wins and one 5-0 victory in their last four games, we have no doubt that Arsenal can win without conceding against a Brentford side that looks void of ideas at the minute.
Kai Havertz To Score Anytime
Our second selection for Arsenal vs Brentford this weekend is for Kai Havertz to score anytime, which is available with Lucky Block at odds of 7/5.
Havertz has slowly crept into form this season for Arsenal and the German has popped up with some crucial goals for his side in their search for a first title in over 20 years.
With seven Premier League goals to his name so far this season Havertz has become an integral part of Arsenal’s team and he could yet again step up on Sunday afternoon.
It is in his last three games where Havertz has really come into his own, with three goals and two assists across starts against Sheffield United, Newcastle and Burnley really cementing his place in the team.
Havertz has been favoured over the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard over recent games and his scoring form has really justified his manager’s decision.
Arsenal Team News
With one eye on Tuesday’s Champions League second leg against Porto, Mikel Arteta could be forced into making some changes to his usual Premier League starting XI.
Gabriel Martinelli came off early against Sheffield United last week with a cut on his foot and he may be rested as a precaution, with Trossard likely to take the Brazilian’s place on the left wing.
Thomas Partey featured off the bench for Arsenal against the Blades and he could now push for a place in the starting XI back from injury.
Aaron Ramsdale will earn a rare start in goal with David Raya not available to play against his parent club.
Arsenal Predicted Line-Up: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard.
Brentford Team News
Bryan Mbuemo will yet again be a big miss in the Brentford lineup, with the forward still recovering an ankle surgery from the end of last year.
Kevin Schade, Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock, Rico Henry and Josh Dasilva are all other long term absentees joining Mbuemo on the sideline.
Ben Mee was the latest Bees star to be ruled out through injury with an ankle fracture that will keep the defender out for the rest of this season.
Brentford Predicted Line-Up: Flekken; Zanka, Collins, Ajer; Roerslev, Janelt, Jensen, Norgaard, Reguilon; Wissa, Toney.
