Premier League leaders Arsenal have a peculiar curse to banish when they visit the Gtech Community Stadium for Thursday's London derby with surprise package Brentford.

While the Gunners have gone unbeaten in 12 straight midweek top-flight games, they have failed to win - or even score - in any of their last three to take place on Thursdays themselves.

Head-to-head:

• Brentford have won just one of the nine Premier League meetings between the two teams.

• Arsenal recorded six victories.

• The remaining two clashes ended in draws.

• Brentford have won three of their last five matches.

• Arsenal are on a four-match winning streak.

• The Gunners are undefeated in their last five fixtures against the Bees.

• Eight of their last 10 encounters produced at least two goals.

Form:

• Brentford in the league: W-L-L-W-W

• Brentford in all competitions: W-L-L-W-W

• Arsenal in the league: D-D-L-W-W

• Arsenal in all competitions: L-W-W-W-W

Team News:

• Brentford will miss out on the services of Fabio Carvalho and Joshua Dasilva as they are injured.

• Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Max Dowman and Mikel Merino will not be in action for Arsenal due to a lack of fitness.

Player(s) to watch:

• Igor Thiago is going to bean important part of the squad in the attacking front. In 25 Premier League appearances this season, he has scored 17 goals and has an assist to his name.He has been in decent goal-scoring form and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

• Viktor Gyokeres is coming in after scoring a sensational brace in the previous league game for Arsenal. It was a good performance by the 27-year-old and he will be looking to put in top efforts yet again. He has scored eight goals in 23 league games of the ongoing campaign. Gyokeres will be one of the main men in the final third for the Gunners.
