The first Premier League action of 2025 takes place at the Gtech Community Stadium, as Brentford welcome Arsenal.

The Gunners moved up to second with a second straight win on Friday, as they managed to get the better of Ipswich at the Emirates. However, an improved display will be needed to get past the Bees this week.

Brentford will be aiming to get their campaign back on track after dropping into the bottom half of the standings in recent weeks after going three without a win.
