William Saliba has been left out of the Arsenal matchday squad taking on Brentford in the Premier League this afternoon.
Arsenal are looking to restore their six-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table after Guardiola’s side cruised to a 3-0 win over Fulham on Wednesday.
The Gunners head to west London full of confidence after impressive wins against Leeds and Sunderland in recent weeks.
However, Mikel Arteta has been dealt a blow before kick-off after Saliba was ruled out of the clash due to illness.
