Mansion Sports – The Premier League 2025/2026 matchweek 14 will feature a highly anticipated encounter between Arsenal and Brentford, a fixture expected to deliver an intense London Derby.

The match is scheduled to take place at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, 3 December 2025 at 19:30 local time.

Arsenal continue their demanding stretch of consecutive London derbies. After being held to a 1-1 draw by a ten-man Chelsea, the Gunners now prepare to face Brentford, who are pushing toward European positions following their 3-1 win over Burnley.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Arsenal

Under typical circumstances, earning a point at the home of the Club World Cup champions, Chelsea, would be considered an acceptable result, particularly after Chelsea’s victory over Barcelona. However, the draw felt like a missed opportunity for an Arsenal team showing signs of fatigue.

Chelsea managed to take the lead despite being reduced to ten players after Moisés Caicedo received a red card. 

Trevoh Chalobah capitalised on a set-piece to open the scoring, but Mikel Merino equalised with a precise header, ensuring Arsenal returned home with one point.

Arsenal’s slight drop in sharpness is believed to be a consequence of a demanding schedule that included Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea. Even so, they remain atop the Premier League table with a five-point cushion, which could shrink to two if Manchester City defeat Fulham.

At the Emirates, Arsenal have been exceptionally dominant, winning nine of their ten home matches across all competitions this season, including seven consecutive home victories.

Their draw at Stamford Bridge extended their unbeaten streak to 17 matches since their loss to Liverpool in August.

Arsenal also hold the strongest defensive home record in the 2025/2026 season, conceding just two goals.

William Saliba’s unexpected absence against Chelsea surprised supporters. The French defender sustained a minor training injury and remains doubtful for midweek action. Gabriel Magalhães, Leandro Trossard, and Kai Havertz also remain sidelined.

However, Arsenal welcome the return of Noni Madueke, Martin Ødegaard, and Viktor Gyökeres, all of whom are expected to compete for starting roles. Gabriel Jesus, recently recovered from injury, may also receive additional minutes.

Given the congested schedule, Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad, potentially offering Myles Lewis-Skelly a starting opportunity.

Brentford

Arsenal’s formidable home form presents a significant challenge for Brentford, whose away performances remain problematic. Keith Andrews’ side have suffered five defeats in six away fixtures this season, including losses in their two most recent away matches.

Even so, Brentford remain in contention for European competition thanks to their strong performances at home. 

Their dramatic 3-1 win over Burnley highlighted their resilience, with Igor Thiago delivering another standout performance. 

His tally of ten goals in just thirteen Premier League matches makes him the fastest Brentford player to reach double digits in a single league season.

Despite their progress, Brentford still carry several negative trends. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches and have managed only one solid defensive showing away from home this season, coming against West Ham United.

Historically, the Bees have not won at Arsenal’s ground since 1938. Since Brentford famously defeated Arsenal in 2021, the Gunners have remained unbeaten in their last seven league meetings.

Brentford will once again be without Reiss Nelson, who is ineligible due to loan restrictions. Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo, and Josh Dasilva also remain sidelined with long-term knee injuries.

Although Igor Thiago experienced a minor fitness concern, he is still expected to start. Facing a strong Arsenal side, Andrews is likely to deploy a five-defender formation once again.
