ARSENAL are finally taking to the pitch again after an enforced delay to fixtures following the death of the Queen.
The Gunners lost 3-1 at Manchester United in their last Premier League outing, and now face the Bees with England new boy Ivan Toney leading the line.
Brentford’s Ivan Toney received his first England call up
On the decision to call-up Toney, England boss Gareth Southgate said: “With Ivan Toney, we have been tracking him for a long time.
“I had a good chat with Thomas Frank about him last season.
“His form and his qualities – not only his goalscoring but his technical ability, build-up play and aerial prowess – gives us a different threat to some of the other players we could pick.”
Toney is in the England squad for the games against Italy and Germany from next week.
When is Brentford vs Arsenal?
Brentford vs Arsenal will take place on Sunday, September 18.
The match kicks off at 12pm.
The fixture has been moved forward from its original 2pm kick-off. This is due to policing concerns surrounding The Queen’s Lying-in-State and funeral the next day.
Arsenal said: “The earlier kick off has been agreed following discussions between the Premier League, the Metropolitan Police, Brentford and ourselves, after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”
What live stream and TV channel is Brentford vs Arsenal?
