The 2021-22 Premier League season gets underway, as newly promoted Brentford host Arsenal at the Brentford Community Stadium, in Brentford, West London on Saturday, August 14. The Bees had to wait for almost 75 years for this moment, marking their return to top-flight football since 1947 and will be keen to reinforce their place among their peers in the division.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank will be optimistic ahead of their season-opening clash with Arsenal. They had faced a few Premier League sides during pre-season and they head into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 win over Jose Bordalas’ Valencia in a friendly fixture.
The Gunners prepare for a rare home campaign without European football of any kind. After finishing the last two seasons in 8th place, Mikel Areta will finally be able to focus solely on the Premier League this year. Arsenal endured a mixed bag pre-season, as Hibernian, Chelsea and Spurs have all condemned them to defeats in this period. However, they can take solace in the fact that they are unbeaten in seven games away from home during the opening weekend.
The Premier League 2021-22 match between Arsenal vs Brentford, will kick off at 12:30 am IST.
