Team News

Brentford
Arsenal
  • Brentford remain without longer term absentees Rico Henry and Ivan Toney for this one, while Kevin Schade has joined those recovering from injury after tweaking a muscle prior to kick-off against Everton on Saturday.
  • Thomas Frank is expected to rotate his starting XI here.
  • Arsenal could be without the likes of Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard here. The former was substituted at half time of Sunday's north London derby and will have to be assessed.
  • Mikel Arteta will still be without Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey, while Gabriel Martinelli's hamstring issue should rule him out for this one.
  • Aaron Ramsdale, who has seemingly become Arsenal's second choice goalkeeper, should start.

Prediction

  • Brentford lost a second successive match in the Premier League last weekend, with visitors Everton good value for their 3-1 victory at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday evening.
  • Arsenal's unbeaten start continued with an eventful 2-2 draw at home to rivals Tottenham in Sunday's north London derby.
  • This is the second ever meeting between Brentford and Arsenal in this competition, with the Gunners winning a third round tie 3-1 at the Emirates five seasons ago.
  • Arsenal lost 3-1 to Brighton in the third round last season and have never been knocked out at this stage of the competition in consecutive campaigns before.
  • With both sides set to rotate, a close contest can be expected here, with Arsenal likely to edge it.
