Sutton's predictions: Brentford v Arsenal

[BBC]

Can Brentford produce another shock after beating Aston Villa and Newcastle in the past couple of weeks? No, they can't.

Keith Andrews has done an incredible job as Bees boss and they will make life difficult for Arsenal because they are well organised and dangerous on the break.

But I still think Arsenal will win because of their sheer power that means they can run through anything.

This might not be the most entertaining game to watch, because Brentford will sit in and defend, and counter.

Arsenal will deal with that, and then find a way of scoring. A deflected goal will probably decide it.

People might say the way they win games is not pretty but there is still a lot to admire about Arsenal and, in the end, no matter what anyone says, it is all about winning, isn't it?

Arsenal are very good at winning games, and I am expecting them to win this one too. In my opinion, they will go on and win the title too, because of the quality of their squad and how good they are defensively.

As much as you want beauty to triumph over a beast, Manchester City are still far too flaky for that to happen.

Sutton's prediction: 0-2
