I went against Brentford the other week, when they faced Crystal Palace and I am keen to do it again today, especially seeing the odds improve on Arsenal win. There is no logical reason to back Brentford, who have been out of form for nearly 2 months now after a spectacular start to their promotion season.

Hosts have moved close to the Champions League zone lately and only had one major flop over the last couple of weeks - the 0:0 stalemate against stubborn and ultra-defensive Burnley. Such fixtures do occasionally come for any team, so I’d rather focus on Arsenal’s positives, which would definitely be the narrow away win against in-form Wolves and earlier humiliations of Norwich and Leeds.

The Gunners do not have any squad issues going into the game, bar the suspension of left winger Martinelli.

It feels like Brentford hasn’t won in EPL for ages, so their confidence before the match is surely on the low. They did not really deserve a point from the match against Crystal Palace last weekend and the 0-0 draw came as a result of opponents’ wastefulness in front of goal. Brentford themselves once again failed to show anything decent going forward.

The “Bees” have also been winless on the road since the last 8 games, picking up 6 defeats in the process.

I reckon Arsenal should be cruising to a moderately comfortable home win today.

前几周我对阵了布伦特福德，他们对阵了水晶宫，今天我很想再来一次，尤其是阿森纳获胜的几率提高了。没有合理的理由支持布伦特福德，他们已经有近2个月的状态不佳了，在他们的赛季开始的时候，他们的表现非常出色。

主队最近已经接近了冠军联赛的区域，在过去的几周中只有一次重大的失败——0:0的平局，对手是顽固且防守严密的伯恩利。这样的比赛对任何球队来说都是偶尔发生的，所以我宁愿把注意力集中在阿森纳的积极方面，那肯定是对状态良好的狼队的险胜，以及之前对诺维奇和利兹的羞辱。

除了左边锋马蒂内利的停赛，枪手在比赛中没有任何问题。

感觉布伦特福德已经很久没在英超赢过球了，所以他们在比赛前的信心肯定很低。在上周末对阵水晶宫的比赛中，他们真的不应该得到一分，0-0的平局是由于对手在进球前的浪费。布伦特福德自己再一次没有表现出任何像样的进展。

在过去的8场比赛中，“蜜蜂队”也没有取得任何胜利，在这个过程中有6场失败。

我认为阿森纳今天应该在主场轻松取胜。
