Mikel Arteta will make one change to his starting XI from Sunday’s preseason match v Tottenham.
Here’s how I see the way his line-up will look v Brentford on Friday…
[4-3-3]
Pepe, Aubameyang, Saka
Xhaka, Lokonga, Smith Rowe
Tierney, Mari, White, Bellerin
Leno
Predicted final score: Brentford 2 – Arsenal 2
COYG!
The Gunners defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Wednesday to win both matches in this season’s North London Derby. With the win Arsenal moves back into 2nd place on the Premier League table.
According to The Mail, Arsenal, is in advanced talks to sign Real Sociedad Martin Zubimendi at the end of this season for a reported $61.2-million (USD).
Takehiro Tomiyasu has returned to full training with the first team after recovering from a knee injury.

Martin Odegaard, “We need to be sharper in the key moments to make sure we get the results we’ve worked for. We have to keep going and keep improving. There is no choice for us now.”
Your score prediction is wrong Arsenal must beat Brentford no matter what it take is a must win match for the Gunners
Arteta like to confuse fans and the team by
Always changing the formation. I reckon he will go 4 2 3 1 and spend the entire 90 minutes shouting to the players. I wish he would just let them play and not have their concentration constantly broken by his shouting. Perhaps arsenal could get a trolley and mask for him like Hannibal (the cannibal) had.
If he serious about offers for bellerin then he will not play.
I hope the players just go and and enjoy themselves if they do then 3 or 4 – 1
