How to watch today's Brentford vs Arsenal Premier League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Brentford are set to be Arsenal's first opponent in the Premier League in the New Year at the Gtech Community Stadium on Wednesday.

The Gunners are third in the standings and can climb to second place with a win against Brentford. Mikel Arteta's side are nine points behind leaders Liverpool and will want to close that gap as quickly as they can.

Brentford, meanwhile, are winless in their last four matches across all competitions. Thomas Frank's men will be major underdogs against the title-chasing Gunners, but they have enjoyed some impressive home wins already this term, most notably thrashing Newcastle 4-2, and cannot be written off.

Brentford team news

Brentford face injury concerns after goalkeeper Mark Flekken and defender Ben Mee sustained issues during their last game against Brighton.

Igor Thiago, Gustavo Nunes, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva, Kristoffer Ajer, and Ethan Pinnock are all already ruled out. However, Sepp van den Berg and Mathias Jensen are set to return to the squad.

Arsenal team news

Both Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White remain sidelined with serious knee injuries.

Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka has undergone surgery for a significant hamstring injury.

There is, however, optimism regarding Raheem Sterling, whose knee problem is less severe than initially feared.
