"Ordinarily, taking a point at Stamford Bridge would be seen as a solid return. But after Chelsea had a man sent off, Arsenal will feel they let two points slip, especially after Trevoh Chalobah's header forced them to chase the game. Mikel Merino eventually nodded in the equaliser, yet Arsenal's performance carried the signs of a squad feeling the effects of a demanding run of fixtures."
"Even so, Arsenal remain five points clear at the top of the table and continue to be relentless at home, winning nine of their ten matches in all competitions at the Emirates this season. Their unbeaten streak across all competitions now stands at 17 games, and their defensive record on home turf is unmatched in the league. Brentford, meanwhile, have been a different animal depending on the venue."
Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Chelsea after Trevoh Chalobah's header forced them to chase the game and Mikel Merino nodded the equaliser. Arsenal remain five points clear at the top and have won nine of ten matches at the Emirates this season, extending an unbeaten run to 17 games with an excellent home defensive record. Brentford have suffered five defeats in six league away outings and historically struggle at Arsenal, with their last league win there in 1938. William Saliba missed the Chelsea squad with a knock, Gabriel Magalhaes is sidelined, while Trossard and Kai Havertz face fitness issues; Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres are in contention.
