Teams Status

Brentford

Brentford have made it to the English Premier League for the first time and to the top flight after a long wait of 74 years. Despite finishing in the third position of the Championship last season, they managed to beat Bournemouth over two legs and then defeated Swansea in the final qualification match. After the first leg loss to Bournemouth, Brentford bounced back really well with a 3-1 win. Out of the 46 league matches that they played, they had accumulated 87 points including 24 wins, 15 draws and just seven losses. They had scored as many as 79 goals and had conceded just 42 goals. Ivan Toney was the team’s leading goal scorer with 31 goals to his name. He even led the assist chart for the team with ten assists. They have got in the likes of Kristoffer Ajer, Frank Onyeka and Myles Peart-Harris into their squad. And they have released some of the players like Henrik Dalsgaard and Emiliano Marcondes. Apart from that, they don’t have any injury concerns as of now.

Arsenal

Arsenal are coming on the back of a poor English Premier League season where they finished in the eighth position. They had a disappointing start to the campaign but finished strongly towards the end with five wins in a row. They had won 18 matches, drew seven and lost 13 matches while accumulating 61 points, just one point behind Tottenham. In the 38 matches, they had scored just 55 goals and had conceded 39 goals. Just three players could score goals in double digits with Alexandre Lacazette leading the pack with 13 goals to his name. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe had chipped in with ten goals each. They have signed Brighton center back Ben White, Albert Sambi Lokonga from Anderlecht and Nuno Tavares from Benfica. And some of the key departures will be David Luiz and Matteo Guendouzi. Similar to Brentford, Arsenal also does not have any players on that injury list.
