Arsenal will be determined to set things right once again as they host Brentford in a thrilling midweek showdown on Wednesday night at the Emirates Stadium.
There is no doubt that this season the Gunners are among the leading contenders to finally reclaim the Premier League crown after nearly two decades.
However, their momentum was briefly halted over the weekend when they stumbled to a 1-1 draw against a 10-man Chelsea side at Stamford Bridge.

Despite securing a point away from home, Arsenal dropped two crucial points that could have given them a healthy five-point cushion over title-chasing Manchester City.
City narrowed the gap to two points on Monday after a dramatic 5–4 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Chelsea proved resilient, buoyed by a confidence-boosting win over Spanish giants Barcelona.
Even reduced to ten men after Moises Caicedo’s dismissal for a rough challenge, they remained dangerous.
Trevor Chalobah opened the scoring before Mikel Merino secured a late equalizer for the league leaders.
Nevertheless, Arsenal extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to 17 matches, their last defeat coming against reigning champions Liverpool.
Fueled by that motivational encounter and lessons learned, they will be determined to re-establish a five-point lead again.
First, however, they must overcome the sting of the Bees.
Brentford are no pushovers, arriving with four wins from their last six outings. They sit 12th on the table with 19 points (six wins, one draw, six losses).
However, Keith Andrews’ side has struggled on the road, losing five of their six away matches, including the last two consecutively.
They will, however, be buoyed by a convincing 3-1 home win over Burnley on Saturday.

Arsenal vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches against Brentford (W5 D2).
Brentford are winless in their last seven away visits to Arsenal in all competitions, dating back to April 1938.
Brentford have scored 21 league goals this term. Only Man City (27), Arsenal (25), and Chelsea (24) have more. Igor Thiago accounts for 11 of those.
Arsenal have won six of their last seven home Premier League matches (D1), including the last three consecutively.
Brentford have won only four of their last 23 Premier League London derbies (D6 L13), with all wins against Crystal Palace (twice) or West Ham.
Given these insights, Arsenal are clear favorites to claim three points and reopen a five-point gap at the top.
Brentford are still finding their rhythm after a poor start but are capable of an upset.
If Arsenal are off their game, the Bees will punish them. However, a home victory still seems the most likely outcome.
This fixture has seen at least one goal in every meeting, though four of the last five have featured under 2.5 goals.
Both sides possess strong attacks – Arsenal with one of the league’s best defenses and frontline, Brentford with a potent scorer in Thiago, so goals are still expected. Fans should anticipate a tight, end-to-end contest.
