Brentford play host to Arsenal in today’s early kick-off, with the visitors having a host of doubts over their selection.
Depending on your sources, there are numerous players who could be missing, but the manager only moved to confirm three players that will need assessing.
We are hopeful that Thomas Partey is fit and ready, considering rumours are claiming that he has been in full training prior to the Queen’s death, while Aaron Ramsdale and Ben White appear to be on course to be available also.
While the boss refused to delve into which players were most likely to be in or out of action today, he did admit that question marks remained over some key players.
Predicted Arsenal XI:
Ramsdale
White Saliba Gabriel Tierney
Partey Odegaard Xhaka
Saka Jesus Martinelli
While I would be happy to see Takehiro Tomiyasu come into the side to give us a little more physicality, I feel that the boss would rather stick with the system which has paid dividends so far this season.
Are there any changes that you think should be made to take on the Bees?

Tomi should start and I would like to see maqinhos given minutes in the league. The boy looks ready and has the physique and skill to thrive in the premier league . I could also like to see us play a back 3 of Tomi, Saliba and Gabo!!.
Good Team you picked there and should be enough for the the 3 points.**************************************************************************************
I will also prefer to have Tomiyasu for White as the only change to your team, I feel Saka will have more impact with Tomi behind him than White.
This is a very important game for our season, it will show much we have improved in responding to disappointed (Man U loss). Brentford are a decent side that have variety to their play and I hope we would be clinical and discipline at the back.
I predict a tough match that will end 2-0 to the gunners. Happy Sunday friends.

So sorry *Mode
A better job is coming, stay strong
It won’t be an easy fixture in anyways, considering the confidence level of the bees lately .
I hope Partey plays,
Ramdale
White, Saliba Gabby, Tierney
Partey, Xhaka
Odegard
Maquinhos|| Jesus ||Martineli
Bukayo saka for super sub.
I would also go with a back 3 but would have White in there with gabby and saliba and Tommy and tierney the full backs!
Mark , a back 3 for me as well with Saka as the wing back 🔥
Ramsdale
Tomi Saliba Gabo
Saka partey odegaard Tierney
Maquinhos Jesus Martinelli
I know I can only dream of this lineup, but a combination of Tomi, Saka, maquinhos on the right and Gabo,ode Tierney on the left!
I wish .. but beyond arteta’s thinking unfortunately
I will go with this lineup and we can win if only we don’t expose our backyard for Toney and Mbeumo to do us damage.
We press without enough cover behind and that was reponsible as usual for our undoing at Old Trafford.
Brentford is not only energentic in their play but are also unpredictable from the beginning to the final whitsle.
Our midfield and backline must stay alert throughout the game.
Jesus.
Martinelli. Odegaard. Saka.
Xhaka. Lokonga.
Tierney. Gabriel. Saliba. White.
Ramsdale.
I am guessing, Partey would not be rushed back into this physical match. He might come in for a few minutes in the second half.
We need Partey fit and ready for the match against Tottenham.
Also, in order not to reduce Lokonga’s confidence, Arteta should let him start and take him off for Partey in the second half.
