Brentford vs Arsenal: Starting XIs for EPL clash confirmed

Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus both return from injury and start for Arsenal tonight.

The pair haven’t started in the Premier League since the 2-2 draw with Chelsea in October.

Jorginho and Kai Havertz make way for them and are on the bench.

Aaron Ramsdale, as expected, comes in for David Raya, who is ineligible to face his parent club.

Thomas Frank has made three changes from Brentford’s 3-0 defeat Liverpool last time out.

Saman Ghoddos, Frank Onyeka and Yehor Yarmoliuk come into the starting XI.

Nathan Collins, Mads Roerslev and Mathias Jensen all drop out and none of them are on the bench.
