Brentford host Arsenal at the Gtech Community Stadium in the first game of Sunday’s Premier League TV schedule.

There were concerns that the match would be postponed due to Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral but there has been confirmation it will be played – though it has been moved from 2pm to midday.

West London has not always been a happy hunting ground for the Gunners – indeed their only previous visit to the Gtech Community Stadium was a night many supporters would rather forget as the newly-promoted Bees beat them 2-0 in the 2021/22 season opener.

Mikel Arteta’s side have come on leaps and bounds since then so will be keen for a chance to banish the demons of that frustrating evening.

They bounced back from their 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford with a 2-1 win over FC Zurich in the Europa League last week but now turn their attention back to the Premier League.

Brentford, meanwhile, will have had 15 days without a competitive game by the time the kick-off arrives on Sunday, which should leave them well rested but will likely frustrate Thomas Frank as it may be harder for his side to capitalise on the momentum built up in their 5-2 win over Leeds.

Our prediction: Brentford v Arsenal

Arsenal know from previous experience that a trip to the Gtech Community Stadium is not something to underestimate, even with Brentford likely to be a little rusty after 15 days without a competitive game.

All eyes are going to be on the Gunners to see how they respond to their first Premier League loss of the season while there could be extra pressure on them if Tottenham and Man City both win and move above them in the table.

We’ve seen that this Brentford side are capable of upsets and they’ll likely be looking to follow the blueprint for success outlined by Man Utd.

We know they have the quality to take their chances, it’s going to be about whether they can keep Arsenal out.

Our prediction: Brentford 1-3 Arsenal (14/1 at bet365)
