Arsenal welcome Brentford to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon in what is a must-win Premier League clash for the hosts.
Despite losing 1-0 to Everton last weekend, the Gunners still find themselves five points clear at the top of the table after second-placed Manchester City also suffered defeat - falling 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon. Still, Mikel Arteta's side will be desperate to get back to winning ways today but their opponents are far from pushovers.
In fact, Brentford are unbeaten in each of their last nine league outings, beating Liverpool and City during that run which has seen them climb up to seventh in the current league standings. Ahead of the highly-anticipated clash, Arteta has a number of selection decisions to make.

First-choice right-back Ben White has started all 20 of their league games this term, although he has struggled in recent matches, coming off for Takehiro Tomiyasu against Manchester United and Everton. Perhaps it could be a good time to rest him from the start on Saturday, with Tomiyasu more than capable of taking his place in the starting line-up.
Another call will be whether or not to hand January signing Leandro Trossard his first league start since joining from Brighton. Gabriel Martinelli has also been slightly off his game in the last couple of matches and it could make sense to replace the young Brazilian for the more experienced Trossard this weekend. With that being said, football.london now takes a look at the full squad Arsenal have available for the match against the Bees.
Goalkeepers: Aaron Ramsdale, Matt Turner, Karl Hein.
Defenders: Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, Rob Holding, William Saliba, Kieran Tierney, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Lino Sousa, Jakub Kiwior.
Midfielders: Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey, Jorginho, Martin Odegaard, Fabio Vieira, Matt Smith, Amario Cozier-Duberry, Ethan Nwaneri.
Forwards: Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah, Leandro Trossard.
