Brentford vs Arsenal Preview

Returning to the top-flight for the first time since 1947, Brentford will begin its Premier League journey by hosting Arsenal at the Brentford Community Stadium.

This London derby will provide the perfect backdrop to the Bees’ EPL debut after they rose to the top division through last season’s 2-0 Championship Play-off Final victory over Swansea City.

That triumph rounded off a campaign during which the club finished third on the table on the back of its highest single-season points total in Championship history.

Comparatively, Arsenal will enter 2021/22 on the heels of its second straight eighth-place finish in the Premiership, as well as the club’s fourth-lowest points total since the EPL’s inception.

Nevertheless, the Gunners will understandably be favoured to get the job done on Friday evening. Arsenal held a 4-2-0 W/D/L record against newly promoted clubs last season, with all four of those wins coming by a margin of at least two goals.
