Premier League duo Brentford and Arsenal will face off in the Carabao Cup Third Round on September 27 as part of a busy midweek schedule.
The Gunners join the other Premier League sides competing in Europe this season in entering the competition at this stage with Mikel Arteta looking to balance his priorities.
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by rivals Tottenham in last weekend’s Premier League North London derby as Thomas Frank’s Brentford lost 3-1 at home to Everton.

Brentford vs Arsenal lineups, team news
Frank is missing a host of first team players through injury, with Ben Mee, Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry and Kevin Schade all ruled out, and Ivan Toney still suspended for the Bees.
The key focus of a Premier League weekend trip to Nottingham Forest will also impact his team selection for this one.
Brentford lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Balcombe (GK) — Roerslev, Collins, Ajer, Hickey — Onyeka, Janelt, Jensen — Lewis-Potter, Wissa, Olakigbe
Declan Rice will miss out for Arsenal, after being forced off injured against Tottenham, with Gabriel Martinelli and Thomas Partey not due back until October. Arteta will look to freshen up his team with Aaron Ramsdale, Jakub Kiwior, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kai Havertz moved into the first XI and Bees’ loanee David Raya ineligible against his parent club.
Arsenal lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Ramsdale (GK) — Tomiyasu, White, Kiwior, Zinchenko — Havertz, Nelson, Vieira — Saka, Nketiah, Smith-Rowe
Brentford vs Arsenal prediction, odds
Brentford’s poor Premier League form means Frank will already have one eye on their return to league action, and despite Arsenal looking to rest the majority of their big hitters, they will be confident of sealing a spot in the next round.
Prediction: Brentford 1-3 Arsenal
