We simulated Arsenal vs Brentford to get a Premier League score prediction

Arsenal can make it eight Premier League wins in a row and go top of the table when they take on London rivals Brentford on Saturday afternoon. 

The most in-form team in the Premier League, Arsenal have been in unstoppable form in 2024, winning every game of the new year tremendously. 31 goals scored and just three conceded in seven games has left the Gunners just two points off top spot, with their goal difference now the best in the league.

Mikel Arteta's side enter the clash on the back of a 6-0 win over Sheffield United in their last outing, with six different players getting on the scoresheet.

We predict that the Bees could line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Flekken; Zanka, Ajer, Collins; Roerslev, Onkeya, Norgaard, Janelt, Reguilon; Toney, Wissa.
