Arsenal kicked off 2025 in style with a 3-1 Premier League win away at Brentford - which saw them move back up to second in the table. Bryan Mbeumo netted the opener, but the Gunners then hit back and scored three without reply to go back within six points of leaders Liverpool.

Following Mbeumo's early strike, David Raya looked to have handed his old club a second goal when he failed to catch a Keane Lewis-Potter shot with the ball then bouncing over his head only to just claw it off the line. It was a huge turning point in the game, though, with Gabriel Jesus equalising in the following 60 seconds.

Mikel Merino then turned home a scrappy corner early in the second period - with Gabriel Martinelli adding a third goal just moments later. Given Brentford had lost just once at home before the visit of Arsenal along with Liverpool and Nottingham Forest also winning, it was a very big victory for Arsenal.

Arsenal's next five Premier League fixtures

January 18 vs Aston Villa (H) at 5.30pm - Premier League

January 25 vs Wolves (A) at 3pm - Premier League

February 2 vs Manchester City (H) at 4:30pm - Premier League

The verdict: Arsenal are back on their travels in Premier League action this weekend with a trip to Brighton scheduled. The Seagulls are in a mixed run of form, but will be looking for another positive result against the Gunners after drawing 1-1 in the reverse fixture at Emirates Stadium.

Two home games then follow for Mikel Arteta's side with a North London Derby against Tottenham coming just a few days before the visit of Aston Villa. Although Arsenal failed to win either of these fixtures last season, they will take confidence having beaten both away from home earlier in the campaign.

A clash against rejuvenated Wolves is then up next with news of Matheus Cunha's ban meaning that he will be available barring an injury. The final of Arsenal's next five league games then comes at home to Manchester City with a chance to, perhaps, put the final nail in the coffin of their already slim title hopes.
