Brentford XI vs Arsenal: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, latest injury updates for Premier League game

Brentford will be without Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen for their Premier League opener against Arsenal tonight.

The pair have been ruled out through injury, with Dasilva struggling with a hip issue and Jensen recovering from a head wound.

Other than that, Bees boss Thomas Frank has a full squad to pick from and he could hand out some debuts.

Kristoffer Ajer, who joined from Celtic this summer, is in line to start in defence and Frank Onyeka will hope to be deployed in midfield.

All eyes will be on striker Ivan Toney, though, to see if he can carry on his goalscoring form from the Championship in the top-flight.
