In their pursuit of a third consecutive victory, Arsenal is gearing up to face London rivals Brentford in a crucial Premier League clash this Saturday. Mikel Arteta's squad, currently sitting third in the table with 27 points from 12 games, is riding high after notable wins against Sevilla and Burnley before the international break. The 3-1 triumph over Burnley showcased goals from Leandro Trossard, William Saliba, and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Notably, a win in this fixture could potentially propel Arsenal to the top of the table, depending on the outcome of the earlier Manchester City vs. Liverpool matchup.
However, Arsenal is grappling with a series of challenges, primarily due to player unavailability. Fabio Vieira is suspended, while Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber are sidelined with injuries until late January. Further complicating matters are doubts surrounding the fitness of Emile Smith Rowe and Cédric Soares. The injury list continues with Ben White in doubt due to an injury, and Martin Ødegaard is in recovery from a concussion, expected to return in a few days.
On the Brentford side, the hurdles are equally significant. Ivan Toney is suspended, and Rico Henry is set to be out until early June 2024 with a knee injury. Mikkel Damsgaard is doubtful due to a groin injury, while Keane Lewis-Potter faces uncertainty with a calf injury. Joshua Dasilva is expected to make a comeback in early December 2023 after a hamstring injury, and Aaron Hickey is slated to be on the sidelines until late January 2024 due to a hamstring concern. Kevin Schade, however, is anticipated to make a return in late December 2023 following a hip injury.
These challenges on both sides are poised to add an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming fixtures, demanding tactical adjustments from the respective managers. How Arsenal and Brentford navigate these setbacks will undoubtedly shape the narrative of this highly anticipated Premier League encounter.
