Brentford is in the middle of the table and in eleventh place the team is somewhere in the average range for the league. Seven wins, three draws, eight defeats. The Bees last played 0-0 against Brighton. There have already been two goalless draws, but on the other hand there have also been eight times when there have been at least four goals per game. Six points behind with one game less. Arsenal have it in for the Reds, so the capital knows exactly how much they still have to catch up to finally win the title. First of all, the Gunners just have to concentrate on themselves. After surprisingly only picking up two points against Fulham and Everton the team has pulled itself together again. First they secured a 5-1 win against Crystal Palace then a narrow 1-0 win was enough for three points against the promoted Ipswich. This is exactly what makes Arsenal so difficult to beat. There are often only a few days between a 1-0 home win against a relegation candidate and a 5-1 away win, and this is particularly hard to explain after a 0-0 draw against Everton.
