Arsenal vs Brentford Team News
Arsenal's injury list is a concern, but returns from Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyokeres (both back after Chelsea cameos) bolster their attack.
Mikel Arteta confirmed a positive update on William Saliba ("a matter of days" after a bizarre knock), giving him an outside chance to feature alongside Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera in central defense.
Martin Ødegaard is pushing for his first start in two months post-knee issue, while Noni Madueke could replace Gabriel Martinelli on the left.
Myles Lewis-Skelly may start at left-back to rest Riccardo Calafiori (one yellow from suspension).
Doubts: Saliba (knock), Trossard (calf).
Out: Gabriel Magalhães (thigh, late Dec return), Havertz (knee, end-Dec return).
Brentford, under new boss Keith Andrews, are without several midfielders long-term.
Leading scorer Igor Thiago is a major doubt after a late substitution vs. Burnley (unspecified issue), potentially handing Yoane Wissa a start. Loan man Reiss Nelson can't face parent club Arsenal.
No other changes expected after their late drama at home to Burnley (all four goals in the final 10 minutes).
Doubts: Thiago (unspecified).
Out: Carvalho, Milambo, DaSilva (all ACL/knee), Onyeka (unspecified).
