Brentford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League football is back! Gunners kick off new campaign away to newcomers as Ivan Toney & Co bid to hit ground running in season curtain-raiser
Premier League football is back and it is a London derby that gets us under way for the new campaign as Arsenal travel to newcomers Brentford for the season opener.
The Gunners endured a miserable time of it last season as Mikel Arteta’s side finished a disappointing eighth. The £50million addition of Ben White has bolstered the North Londoners’ defence as they hope for a better 2021-22 showing.
Meanwhile, Brentford’s arrival in the Premier League has been long overdue, with Thomas Frank’s side impressing in the second tier. Led by talisman Ivan Toney, the Bees will be looking to get off to a good start tonight in front of their home crowd.
