Brentford will seek a victory in the Carabao Cup that could see Arsenal face humiliating back-to-back third-round exits.
Despite Brentford still smarting from a rare home defeat to Everton, if Arsenal lose, it’s bound to bring back sore memories from when they were knocked out of the contest last season by Brighton 3-1.
However, with Brentford still without Rico Henry (expected to be out for the season with an ACL injury), Ben Mee absent for their defeat against Everton, and Josh Dasilva, Shandon Baptiste, and Mikkel Damsgaard all still sidelined, their victory is anything but assured.
Arsenal have also yet to be eliminated at this stage of the competition for two consecutive campaigns in the past and have only lost one of their last eight engagements with Brentford.
As such, tonight, the Gunners will be heading to Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium in the hope of achieving a better result than last year – though they could be without Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard.
The clash also comes amid rumours that Arsenal could be one of the teams interested in bidding for Brentford’s Aaron Hickey.
But just when is the kick-off, and will it be shown on TV?
