Arsenal faces a formidable challenge in the Carabao Cup tonight as they venture to Brentford for a third-round encounter.

The Gunners’ entry into this stage is a consequence of their European commitments, and they are eager to avoid a repeat of last season’s premature exit, which saw them fall to Brighton.

Mikel Arteta’s side boasts an unbeaten record across all competitions this season, although their performances haven’t always been convincing. Costly individual errors marred their weekend clash with Tottenham, and the mounting injury list poses further concerns.

While Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are sidelined for this match, Emile Smith Rowe earns a rare start, and the promising teenager Charles Sagoe Jr is set to make his debut.

In contrast, Brentford’s path to this stage involved a penalty shootout against Newport County in the second round. The Bees have struggled in the Premier League, securing just one win in their opening six fixtures.

To compound their challenges, they too must contend with injuries, with Kevin Schade facing an extended spell on the sidelines due to a hip injury.
