Prediction: 2-1
Brentford
Emirates Stadium will host Saturday’s London derby between Arsenal and Brentford. The Gunners failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to relegation-strugglers Everton, but seeing that Man City were beaten by Spurs at the weekend, Mikel Arteta’s men are still seen as the main favourites to win the title. January signing Jorginho is widely expected to start against Brentford, while all Smith Rowe, Elneny, and Gabriel Jesus remain in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, the Bees recorded a 3-0 win over Southampton on Matchday 22, with the team keeping their Europa League hopes alive. Brentford, though, produce much better showings at home than on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the league leaders. As for the visiting side, both Pontus Jansson and Frank Onyeka are out of contention with injuries, while Shandon Baptiste should be fit for the match.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
