Arsenal vs Brentford form
Arsenal had a great chance to win the London derby last weekend and increase the gap with the chasing pack. However, despite playing with an extra man after Moises Caicedo's red card in the 38th minute, The Gunners still could not take advantage of the opportunity and eventually left Stamford Bridge with a 1-1 draw.
A point away from the opponent ranked right behind is not a bad result. Before round 14, the team under coach Mikel Arteta was firmly in the lead, creating a gap of 5 and 6 points to the position held by Man City and Chelsea.
The gap is safe enough for Declan Rice and his teammates not to be under too much pressure. But if they do not know how to grasp the mistakes of their direct opponents, Arsenal may have to face a fierce race for the title at the end of the season.
However, never in the past two decades have Emirates fans been so confident about their team's championship prospects. Arsenal are simply too stable, in terms of form, quality and depth of personnel. It would be hard to believe that a turning point could knock Arteta and his team out of the race to win the 2025/26 Premier League title.
After a total of 20 appearances since the beginning of the season on all fronts, Arsenal has only lost 1, drawn 3 and won 16. Of which, in the last 11 times hosting guests, the Gunners have also won 10 and only drawn 1. The statistics of the difference in the number of goals scored (16) and conceded (2) are enough to prove the unblemished face of the Emirates home team.
But that doesn't mean Arsenal can afford to be complacent in another London derby, which is of a smaller scale. Remember last season, also at home, The Gunners only earned 1 point in a lackluster match against a tough Brentford.

Not to mention, the Bees are also playing quite well, with 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 rounds. Overall, the chance of Coach Keith Andrews and his team creating a surprise is not considered too high.
In addition to their poor head-to-head record, having lost 4/5 of their most recent encounters with Arsenal, the away team also has below-expected form on away trips. Specifically, after a total of 6 away trips since the beginning of the season, Brentford has only won 1 and lost 5, a record only better than the bottom team Wolves.
In the early match of round 14, if Man City overcome Fulham, the gap to the top of Arsenal will be temporarily shortened to 2 points. In case the pressure increases, Coach Arteta and his students will need to react strongly with a victory.
