Arsenal vs Brentford prediction 03.12.2025 | Premier League

Arsenal came fairly close to winning the title in the previous three years, finishing second (twice) behind Manchester City and (once) behind Liverpool. This year, the Gunners opened the season very well as they are sitting at the top spot with 30 points, five points above second-placed Manchester City. Even though they had the lead in the previous years, bookies did not believe in them in the early portion of the season. This year, the situation is different: the bookies offer odds of around 1.5 for them to win the title, while Manchester City are around 4.0.

After a 1:1 draw with Chelsea, despite having one player more from the 38th minute, coach Mikel Arteta spoke to the media. He was unhappy that they had failed to win, but proud of the players for putting in a really good effort in recent days. "In general, we lacked a bit more patience and quality in certain moments to create more rhythm, more dangerous situations, more second balls, and more chaos for them around their penalty area," the coach added.

With the exclusion of the 2023/24 season, Brentford have been a mid-table team since their promotion to the English top-flight division. Last year, the Bees finished tenth, and are doing a good job this year as well. Last year, they averaged 1.47 points per game, and this year, they are currently averaging 1.46 ppg. However, they have major problems on the road and will now face another challenging task against the best team in the league.

In the previous game against Burnley, Igor Thiago suffered an injury late in the game and is questionable for the upcoming match. The striker has been on an excellent run, scoring five goals in the past three games. So, his potential absence could be a massive factor for this match.
