Will Arsenal have a chance at the top of the Premier League if they beat Brentford on Saturday?

Arsenal is in top form heading into their match against Brentford, having won their last seven games. They've scored an impressive 31 goals in those matches while conceding just three, boasting the best defensive record in the Premier League. With a goal difference of +45 and 68 goals scored, they lead in both categories. Despite their third-place position in the table, their consistency and attacking prowess make them strong favorites to secure an eighth consecutive victory against Brentford on Saturday night.



Brentford's recent form under Thomas Frank has been inconsistent, particularly on the road. While defensively solid, conceding fewer goals away than several top teams, their scoring struggles persist, despite Ivan Toney's return. With just 3 wins and a draw in 13 away games, they've lost seven of their last eight on the road. All three away wins occurred when they kept a clean sheet, indicating their reliance on defensive solidity. However, facing an Arsenal side in prolific scoring form raises concerns for Brentford's chances in this challenging away fixture.
