We’ve got an all-Premier League clash to look forward to in the third round of the League Cup on Wednesday evening as London rivals Brentford and Arsenal lock horns at the Community Stadium.
Brentford head into this match on the back of a surprise defeat to Everton, the Merseyside outfit returning from the capital with an unexpected three points in the bag after losing four and drawing one of their opening five Premier League outings this season. This was as much of a shock for Brentford as it was for Everton and Bees boss Thomas Frank will be demanding an immediate response when his men take to the field against Arsenal in the League Cup on Wednesday evening.
With just a single victory to their name thus far, Brentford sit in 13th position in the early Premier League table and they needed a penalty shoot-out in order to overcome League Two side Newport County in the second round of the League Cup.
Looking to prolong Brentford’s poor set of cup results against their city rivals, Arsenal will be eager to put the disappointment of their North London derby firmly behind them, the Gunners twice squandering a lead over Tottenham Hotspur to eventually share the spoils in a 2-2 draw.
Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the campaign is still intact however and while this competition won’t be high on manager Mikel Arteta’s list of priorities, we envisage a somewhat changed Gunners outfit capitalising on the fact that Brentford will have a host of injuries for this encounter as well as fitness concerns. As such we’ll be siding with the visitors to edge their way to victory in a game which should see goals for both sides.
