Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has conceded that his team consistently faces challenges when playing against Brentford. The Gunners are set to host Thomas Frank’s side this Saturday in a bid to secure the top spot in the Premier League.
Despite Arsenal’s impressive form with 24 goals in their last five top-flight games, Arteta expresses concern about Brentford. The Bees held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw in their recent fixture, and their ability to trouble top teams is a cause for caution.
Brentford managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the reverse fixture last season. Arteta, acknowledging the significance of every point lost in the previous encounters, emphasized the team’s awareness of the upcoming challenging match. He stated, “We know the difficulty of the match. We always struggle against Brentford.”
