Arsenal host Brentford in the Premier League this weekend buoyed by a historic win in midweek.
The Gunners have one foot in the semi-finals of the Champions League after thrashing Real Madrid 3-0 at the Emirates. Declan Rice scored two brilliant free-kicks before Mikel Merino sealed the win with a sweet finish late on. After falling adrift in the Premier League title race, that victory has reignited hopes of an unforgettable campaign.

Arsenal vs Brentford – Predicted lineup and team news
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta is likely to ring the changes for this contest, with one eye on the club’s semi-final second leg with Real Madrid. Jorginho, Ben White, Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri should be recalled to the starting side to afford rest to key figures.
The absences of Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu deplete the defensive options, while forwards Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz remain sidelined. Arteta offered an encouraging update on the former on Friday, revealing Havertz could return before the season’s end.
