Jones Knows prediction
Arsenal keep rolling in an efficient and relentless manner.
Mikel Arteta's men are now unbeaten in 17 matches in all competitions, their longest streak under the Spaniard, and they're doing it with a defensive base that is as sturdy as anything in Europe.
In fact, Arsenal boast the most clean sheets (7) and joint-fewest defeats (1) across all competitions in Europe's major leagues - elite numbers that tell you precisely where their authority lies.
And Brentford are exactly the sort of team Arsenal tend to keep at arm's length.
Arsenal and under 3.5 goals has landed in nine of their last 15 Premier League outings. That's the pattern. Professional wins.
No need for fireworks when discipline and dominance will do, and that bet is on offer at Evens with Sky Bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0

Early Arsenal team news...
Arsenal continue to manage several injury concerns, with centre-back William Saliba having missed the Chelsea game along with forward Leandro Trossard.
âHe (Saliba) had a little niggle, so I think itâs going to be a matter of days, so letâs see if he is able to be there tomorrow,â said Arteta, who is still without Brazil defender Gabriel Magalhaes because of a thigh problem he sustained on international duty.
âThe ankle one (earlier in the season) was really random and a very unlucky action that kept him out for a few weeks. He tried at Anfield, he wasnât comfortable and he had to stay away.
âThis one as well, very bizarre, but hopefully it will be a matter of days.â
Good afternoon...

Andrews: We'll fancy ourselves against Arsenal
Brentford boss Keith Andrews wants his team to "embrace" the challenge of Premier League leaders Arsenal - and that his team will "fancy" themselves to cause an upset.
âItâs pretty obvious that itâs going to be a difficult task, but itâs also a task that we need to embrace,â he said about the team with a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
âTheyâre a tough nut to crack, for sure. They donât concede too many and donât concede too many opportunities, but weâre a team that quite fancies ourselves in how we can affect the opposition and make it quite uncomfortable for them at times. Thatâs what weâll be hoping to do on Wednesday night.â
Arsenal and Brentford have several links between them. Former Bees players Christian Norgaard and David Raya could line up against their former sides.
The Gunners have also hired two former Brentford set piece coaches in Andreas Georgson - now at Spurs under Thomas Frank - as well as current Arsenal set piece guru Nicolas Jover.
Asked about the set piece battle, Andrews - a former set piece coach of course - said: âThere will always be a lot made of that: the set-piece battle, with two teams who are invariably pretty good at that aspect of the game.
âIn most games, set-pieces play a part to different levels. I think this will be a game where it plays a very big part, and we hope we can come out on the right side of it.â
Arteta on injury news...
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta:
On William Saliba: "I'm not going to be able to help you much today because we have a training session later on. Until that happens, we don't know what's going to happen with the doubts that we have.
"He had a little niggle, but I think it will be a matter of days, let's see if he can be available tomorrow."
Leandro Trossard: "A matter of days too."
Kai Havertz: "A matter of weeks. Let's see how he evolves in the next few weeks. He's doing really well, doing stuff on the pitch. I think he needs some time."
Gabriel: "Which Gabi? We have a lot. Big Gabi? He's doing really well, but he needs weeks as well."
