The Bees host the Gunners in both clubs&#8217; first game since the recent international break.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford beat Arsenal in their first-ever Premier League game on a memorable August night in 2021. They will be looking for a repeat in west London this evening following their 3-0 loss last time out to Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Arteta&#8217;s side are unbeaten in the last four meetings though, including two wins at the Gtech Community Stadium in league and cup competition. Arsenal have often been criticised for being too emotional and perhaps over-celebrating goals and victories.<\/p>\n<p>Frank joked he had a plan if the Gunners left it late today. He said: &#8220;If they run across my box maybe I&#8217;ll trip them! But if we score a last-minute winner I will also be running around and celebrating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal face suspension threat ahead of next games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Arsenal-news-Brentford-Mikel-Arteta-Thomas-Frank-5084812.jpg?r=1700910889181\"><\/p>\n<p>The Danish boss has no problem with teams going all out in their celebrations. He added: &#8220;There&#8217;s some coaches and players that are not celebrating when they score goals &#8211; what is that?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re doing the most difficult thing in football, you&#8217;re scoring a goal. You should celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And if you score a last-minute winner against any team, we know how difficult it is to win in the Premier League, you should celebrate. I&#8217;m a believer of that, I like that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Emotional or not? I don&#8217;t know if Arsenal are or not, I will not be the judge of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd flops Antony and Sancho scorched as Ryan Giggs comment speaks volumes[EXCLUSIVE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Pochettino faces expensive Chelsea punishment with boss banned vs Newcastle[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Mitchell van der Gaag &#8216;almost died in dugout&#8217; but will manage Man Utd vs Everton[INSIGHT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arteta has admitted on more than one occasion that he is looking to improve his behaviour on the touchline.
