Arsenal look to continue their three game winning streak as they play against Brentford on New Year’s Day at the Gtech Community Stadium. 

The Gunners won 1-0 in their last game against Ipswich Town, who recently beat Chelsea 2-0 at Portman Road in what was a shock result.

Arsenal are left sat in third in the Premier League, one point behind Nottingham Forest and nine points behind league leaders Liverpool.

They play against a Brentford side who are winless in four games and come off a 0-0 draw to Brighton. They currently sit 12th in the league, 12 points behind Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta will hope that his squad can pull through despite the fact that star winger Bukayo Saka is out injured for an extended period after suffering a hamstring injury.

Other than Saka, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain ruled out for the Brentford match. However, Raheem Sterling could make a return which would be a major boost due to Saka’s injury.
