English Premier League leaders Arsenal are looking to maintain their lead at the top of the standings when they travel to Brentford on Thursday.
Brentford are coming off back-to-back victories and are hoping they can make it a third successive win here. Dango Ouattara scored the winner in their recent 3-2 win at Newcastle.
Their recent run of form leaves them in seventh place with 39 points, 17 behind the PL leaders Arsenal.
Arsenal are also seeking a third consecutive win after victories against Leeds and Sunderland. They have scored seven goals in those two games, conceding none.
This was their fourth win on the bounce in all competitions as they seek a first PL title since 2004. They remain unbeaten in their last eight away games and are favorites to get all three points here.
With this being the only game scheduled for Thursday night, we have a look at all the key details of the match and offer our predicted outcome.

Brentford vs Arsenal team news
Mikel Damsgaard came off the bench in the last game against Newcastle, but he is expected to return to the starting XI here. Meaning Mathias Jensen will have to settle for a place for the bench.
Jordan Henderson has been a key feature in the midfield and will retain his starting position.
Club top scorer Igor Thiago has scored in their last three games and will lead the Brentford attack.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are spoilt for choice with their attacking options as both strikers Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus have been in among the goals in recent matches.
Jesus came off the bench to score but may have to sit this one out as Gyokeres starts. Eberechi Eze has also been out of favor in recent weeks but may be called upon to start here.
The rest of the team will remain unchanged.
