Brentford is dealing with some fitness issues ahead of Arsenal game

Brentford are preparing to face Arsenal in the Premier League tomorrow in what promises to be a significant test for the home side. The Bees understand the scale of the challenge ahead, as Arsenal remain one of the most impressive teams in the division this season. The Gunners have worked consistently to maintain their position at the top of the table and have shown a strong ability to overcome opponents who have troubled them in the past. That progress makes them a difficult side for Brentford to contain, and the west London club will need to be at their best to secure a positive result.

Arsenal’s form has placed them among the teams to beat this season, yet Brentford have demonstrated on several occasions that they can rise to major challenges. They have already defeated Liverpool and Manchester United during the current campaign, results that underline their capacity to unsettle the league’s strongest sides. The Bees will attempt to reproduce that level of performance when they welcome Arsenal, although the Gunners will be determined to ensure they are not added to that list.
