Arsenal will need to improve their road performance when they travel to Brentford this weekend.
The Gunners have been defeated in their last two away games, against West Ham and Newcastle, and now travel to west London in their first match back from the international break.
Despite not yet playing the free-flowing football seen for much of last season, Arsenal remains firmly in the Premier League title race as the hectic holiday season approaches.
Brentford were beaten at home by Mikel Arteta's side earlier this season in the Carabao Cup, but they have already beaten Tottenham and Chelsea and given Manchester United a scare at Old Trafford.
Date, start time, and location
Brentford vs. Arsenal is set to kick off at 5:30pm GMT today, Saturday November 25, 2023.
The game will be held at the Gtech Community Stadium.
