Arsenal's return from the international break will see the Gunners facing a tough test away to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta's side went into the break with a 3-1 home win against Burnley and will face a Brentford team who have won three of their past five matches. Despite their form having picked up, the Bees will still be stinging from their 3-0 defeat away to Liverpool before the Premier League paused for its players to head around the world to represent their countries.
Arsenal can hit the top of the table should they win, with Man City and Liverpool's early kick-off needing to end in a draw for them to do so. This makes a win crucial for momentum in what is currently shaping up to be an enthralling title race at the top of the Premier League table.
In this fixture last season, Brentford were soundly beaten by the Gunners as Arteta's side sealed a 3-0 win at the Gtech Community Stadium as they recorded their best ever start to a Premier League season. This campaign has seen a slower start, with none of the league's frontrunners having been able to pull away from the pack just yet.
With eyes turning towards a hectic winter schedule, both Brentford and Arsenal will be keen to put their best foot forward and start with a win.

Team news
Nathan Collins is set to be out for a few weeks as the Republic of Ireland defender suffered from ankle ligament damage while on international duty. He joins long-term absentees Mikel Damsgaard, Aaron Hickey and Rico Lewis on the sidelines as Thomas Frank continues to contend with the injury issues which have plagued his team so far this season.
Arsenal, meanwhile, will welcome back Martin Odegaard as the Norwegian returns from three matches on the sidelines with a concussion. Ben White will also be available for selection after missing the Burnley match before the international break as Gabriel Jesus is also in contention having played 90 minutes for Brazil against Argentina earlier this week.
