Arsenal have only lost one of their last 10 meetings with Brentford in all competitions (W7 D2), a 0-2 defeat in the Bees’ first ever Premier League game in August 2021.

Brentford have won just once in nine visits to Arsenal in all competitions (D4 L4), a 2-0 league win in April 1938.

After losing 2-0 to West Ham and 2-1 to Fulham at the end of 2023, Arsenal’s two Premier League London derbies so far in 2024 have seen them beat Crystal Palace 5-0 and West Ham 6-0. Only the Gunners themselves in 1934-35 have ever scored 5+ goals in three consecutive London derby matches in English league history.

Arsenal have won all seven of their Premier League matches in 2024, scoring 31 times and conceding just three. They are the first side in English top-flight history to have scored 30+ goals in their first seven games in a year, with 29 the previous most by Sunderland in 1893 and Arsenal in 1931.

Brentford have dropped a league-high 28 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season; it’s the most since Southampton in 2021-22 (29), while only four sides have ever dropped 30+ in a single campaign – Newcastle in 2004-05 (31), Chelsea in 1995-96 (33), Wimbledon in 1999-00 (33) and Tottenham in 2007-08 (33).

Brentford had earned 16 points from their first 11 Premier League games this season, at an average of 1.5 per game (W4 D4 L3). Since then, they’ve taken just 10 points from 16 Premier League games, an average of 0.6 per game (W3 D1 L12).

Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale has kept a clean sheet in both of his meetings with Brentford this season, 1-0 wins away from home in both the Premier League and EFL Cup. The last Gunners ‘keeper to record three shutouts against an opponent in a campaign was Jens Lehmann against Blackburn Rovers in 2004-05.

Only three players have been directly involved in more Premier League goals this season than Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka (21 - 13 goals, 8 assists), with Saka the only player this season to have had 200+ touches in the opposition’s box (202).

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has three goals and two assists in his last three Premier League appearances, as many goals and assists as he had in his previous 32 league games combined (4 goals, 1 assist). Havertz has both scored and assisted in his last two matches (vs Newcastle and Sheffield United), with Cesc Fàbregas the last Gunners player to do three in a row back in September 2007.

Brentford’s Yoane Wissa is looking to score in three consecutive Premier League games for the first time. Six of his last eight goals in the competition have come in London derby matches, though Arsenal are the only London team he’s faced but not scored against.
