Arsenal will host Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, February 19. The Gunners are currently 6th in the league table with 39 points. Meanwhile, the Bees have 24 points and are 14th in the league table. Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has stated his prediction on SportsKeeda.
I think Arsenal will win this one 3-0. That said, this is a big game, as if they can win this one and go and beat Wolves, they've got a massive chance of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League. Brentford got a good result against Crystal Palace and did well to keep a clean sheet, but I don't expect them to get anything out of this game. As for Arsenal's front three, I think Alexandre Lacazette will play with Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe either side of him. Gabriel Martinelli getting sent off against Wolves is a massive blow for them, but I think they should be able to cope without him as they've got other options. Nicolas Pepe hasn't been great, but he is another player who can get the job done in a game or two if he's drafted into the team. Brentford have to pick and choose their football matches, this is a game too far for them, in my opinion.Paul Merson's Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Brentford
