Before the match, famous commentator Martin Keown's outlook on the battle between Arsenal and Brentford revealed his views on the current situation of Arsenal and the battle for the Premier League title. Keown said that the Gunners are struggling this season, with ill-discipline and injuries, especially the absence of core players such as Odego and Saka, which has had a significant impact on the team's performance.
Despite Coach Arteta's efforts to overcome the difficulties, Keown still believes that this season is still a challenging journey for Arsenal. He pointed out that although Arsenal and last season's data is similar, only a difference of four points, the number of goals conceded and the number of goals scored there is no significant difference, but this does not mean that the team has touched the threshold of the championship, Keown emphasized that, if you want to ask for the throne, Arsenal need to be in the performance of a further step.
At the same time, Keown also expressed dissatisfaction with Chelsea's recent performance. The original three-legged championship pattern is slightly dull due to Chelsea's consecutive defeats. He suggested that if Arsenal want to dominate in front of their rivals, such as Diaz and Gakpo, the strikers must improve their goal scoring efficiency, which is crucial for the team to compete for the title.
