Arsenal host Brentford in Saturday’s late Premier League kick off with the aim of keeping the pressure on Liverpool in the title race.
A 1-1 draw with Everton last weekend initially looked as though the Gunners would drop more ground to Arne Slot’s Reds but Liverpool were beaten by Fulham and Arsenal moved a point closer to their rivals. Mikel Arteta’s men will need something similar to happen this week as well though their task will be to claim all three points at home to the Bees.
Arsenal come into the match on the back of a 3-0 demolition of Real Madrid but Arteta will have one eye on the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie so could rest some of his key players.
Brentford, meanwhile, sit 12th in the table and are attempting to end the season on a high. They held Chelsea to a goalless draw last time out but will face a trickier time of things at the Emirates this evening.
