Brentford are the type of small team that can always make it big. They started the season with a draw against Tottenham. They won 2-0 at Chelsea and almost beat United at Old Trafford (no one could have imagined Scott McTominay scoring twice in stoppage time to turn the game around for United). Excellent organisation and good cohesion on the pitch, that's why Brentford, despite being "poor", are still firmly established in the Premier League, which is very money-intensive.
Difficulties await Arsenal (red shirt)

According to Opta's calculator, Arsenal's win probability is 39.4% - only slightly higher than Brentford's (31.8%). While Brentford are usually excellent at home, Arsenal, on the other hand, have been disappointing away from home. They have lost at Lens, Newcastle, West Ham, in various competitions. This is just a continuation of a pattern that began at the end of last season (when Arsenal lost to Manchester City and Nottingham Forest).
Of course, Arsenal are still much stronger in the overall view, from the strength of the whole team to the individual level of each star. In attack, Bukayo Saka is in excellent form. Likewise, Declan Rice in midfield. This match, goalkeeper David Raya will have to give up the goal to Aaron Ramsdale (because Raya is on loan from Brentford and will not be able to play against his current team). Arsenal fans are worried about the form of Martin Odegaard - who was injured while playing for Norway in the recent international matches. Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, Jurien Timber and Fabio Vieira will all be absent due to injury or suspension. Eddie Nketiah and Ben White are doubtful.
If Arsenal disappoints, the main reason will likely be Leandro Trossard. He just scored and assisted successfully to help Arsenal beat Burnley 3-1 in the most recent match in the Premier League. But Trossard's form has never been stable this season. That is also the reason why experts are rumored that Arsenal is looking to buy a good striker in the upcoming "winter window". Every time Arsenal fails, experts have to discuss the effectiveness of the attack, with the lack of sharpness in scoring.
Brentford also have a few players who can't play, but it doesn't matter. Top scorers like Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Norgaard, Mathias Jensen... will all be present, that's enough. "Naming" the Brentford squad actually just means that they have no significant changes, but Brentford is actually a team without stars. On the other hand, although Brentford can cause surprises thanks to the cooperation of the attacking players, the solidity of the defense is the deciding factor. After 3 consecutive wins in the Premier League, Brentford lost 0-3 at Liverpool in the most recent match.
Brentford themselves are capable of sharing points with Arsenal at home. In addition, it is worth mentioning the usual "custom" in top-flight football: surprises often happen in club football right after the international break of the national teams. This is an opportunity for Arsenal to rise, when the two teams above them, Manchester City and Liverpool, have to face each other directly. But this is also an opportunity for Brentford to make a difference!
