Brentford's head coach, Thomas Frank, has said that his side will need to put in extra effort to beat Arsenal this weekend.

After their defeat to Everton last weekend, the Gunners would hope to return to winning ways against high-flying Frank Thomas’ side.

To beat Arsenal, Thomas said his men will have to produce their best performance in the Premier League.

“I always believe that we can win,” Frank told reporters on Friday ahead of his meeting with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

“They have been going from strength to strength, and they are in a fantastic position."

“We will probably need the best performance we have ever put out in a Premier League game.”

Despite their 1-0 defeat to Everton last weekend, the Gunners still maintain their 5-point lead over second-placed Manchester City.

Manchester City, on the other hand, had the opportunity to close the gap between themselves and the league leaders but fell to a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
