Arsenal will face off against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this Thursday night as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn an impressive 3-0 win over Sunderland recently, which should give them a lot of confidence going into this game.
Mikel Arteta will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first XI for this clash. Piero Hincapie, Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokeres could all play from the start of this game.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Brentford
Defence
David Raya will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners after he kept a clean sheet in his last league outing. William Saliba will continue to operate alongside Gabriel at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.
Jurrien Timber will try to put in a solid performance at right-back, while Piero Hincapie looks to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield
Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Kai Havertz will make up Arsenal’s midfield. Their main focus would be to move the ball well and engineer some decent chances in the final third.
Eberechi Eze and Christian Norgaard will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second half, if needed.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will try to catch the eye on the left flank, while Noni Madueke hopes to put his pace to good use as the right-winger. Viktor Gyokeres will lead the line for the Gunners down the middle. He managed to score a brace versus Sunderland, which should give him a ton of confidence going into this game.
Gabriel Jesus will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if the North London club are in need of a goal by then. However, Leandro Trossard is a major doubt for this clash.
