Team shape · 05
How will the two teams set up?
Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.
At home
Arsenal
Arsenal carry a title-level squad. They suffocate opponents at Emirates Stadium, so Brentford will need a disciplined low block to stay in it.
Away
Brentford
Brentford are likely to sit in a compact shape on the road at Emirates Stadium and wait for a single opening rather than chase control.
