Premier League opening day predictions: Brentford and Arsenal leads us off
Brentford vs Arsenal – Brentford Community Stadium, Brentford
The Gunners get a chance to give The Bees a proper welcome to the big leagues. Arteta’s men head over to Brentford Community Stadium following some worrying preseason results.
However, an opener that involves Arsenal always promises goals and that’s what matters most to EPL Lovers… Goals galore!
On a couple of occasions, in back-to-back seasons, Arsenal’s Matchday 1 encounters consisted of seven-goal thrillers: In 2016/17 losing 3-4 to Liverpool and the following season 2017/18 beating Leicester City by the same 4-3 margin.
Score Prediction
Brentford 3-3 Arsenal

The new season is here and we must work together to #StopOnlineAbuse.
Here are some further steps we’re taking, including banning an Arsenal season ticket holder.
I expect this introduction to The Top Flight will be like these two high-scoring clashes mentioned above but, the Gunners will fail to win like they have during the preseason and share the points in the first EPL match.
The morale is low in the Arsenal camp thanks to losing three of their four pre-season friendlies. The Bees could take advantage of this and unleash the wrath of the 31-goal machine, Ivan Toney.
Brentford also had a far more productive preseason compared to their opponents, so we could be in for our very first shocker of the campaign – do not be surprised.
