Arsenal are coming off a magical night in London, securing a 3-0 win in the Champions League against defending champions Real Madrid. Just 12 minutes separated Declan Rice’s pair of spectacular direct free-kick goals—moments that are still making headlines across the soccer world. Mikel Merino added a third to complete a statement victory that keeps Arsenal dreaming of winning this title for the first time.
Confidence is sky-high, but Arteta now faces the challenge of refocusing his squad for the Brentford clash. With pride on the line and a 11-point gap between them and the Premier League leaders Liverpool, the Gunners are determined to keep pushing in the title race and avoid dropping points at home.
Given the upcoming trip to the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday, several key players are likely to be rested. Jorginho, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Raheem Sterling, Ethan Nwaneri, and Leandro Trossard are all strong candidates to start as part of the rotation.

The Bees enter the final stretch of the season with little at stake. Eliminated from the FA Cup and currently sitting 12th in the Premier League, they’re comfortably clear of relegation but also far from the fight for European spots.
Form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches. Still, one of the bright spots this season has been the attacking duo of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, who have combined for 30 of Brentford’s 51 league goals.
Both are fit and available, and Brentford have no new injury concerns following last weekend’s goalless draw with Chelsea. Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago, and Gustavo Nunes remain sidelined as they continue their recovery process.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Brentford at the Emirates across all competitions (three wins and one draw). However, with Champions League duties ahead and a rotated lineup expected, this could be a very different kind of contest.
Even if the names on the field change, Arsenal’s tactical identity is expected to stay the same. Arteta will stick to his high-possession approach, utilizing the full width of the pitch to assert control and dictate the tempo.
Under 2.5 Goals has hit in seven of Arsenal’s last nine league matches, and the Gunners have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League (25). While Brentford have been more effective on the road—taking the lead in nine of their 15 away matches this season—they’ll still enter the Emirates as clear underdogs.
Arsenal vs. Brentford Pick: Under 2.5 Goals (+105, DraftKings)
