The details of the Brentford and Arsenal coverage come at a time when both clubs are in decent, if not perfect, form.
The game between the two London foes is on Sunday morning, with a time rescheduled to originally planned. Problems related to the death of the Queen and the police force required for her funeral suspended other games in the league. To accommodate vacancies in the calendar, Brentford and Arsenal have cover details for the early start of the day.

Accessory Preview
With just seven games on the Premier League schedule this weekend, Sunday’s Brentford-Arsenal clash is just one of two on Sunday. The reason why a match like Chelsea-Liverpool is abandoned while Brentford-Arsenal is not because the former simply has more interest. The required police presence at Brentford Stadium is considerably less than at Stamford Bridge. Fewer officials are therefore required and the Brentford game can go on.
The game itself is something of a major London derby in the context of the season. Arsenal, who remain top of the Premier League table, dropped points for the first time in the 2022/23 campaign last time out. A loss at Old Trafford halted what was a breakneck start to the season. However, after a bye week and a Europa League victory just over a week ago, Arsenal are hungry. However, there may be some rust coming from the Gunners, who will miss their Europa League match in midweek due to the same police concerns.
Brentford is performing admirably in the young season. Nine points from six games is good enough for eighth place in the league, tied with Liverpool. Furthermore, Brentford is a team that thrives at home. This season, Brentford have two wins and a draw at the Community Stadium. Those two wins came in losses against Manchester United and Leeds for a combined score of 9-2.
game coverage
With the game kicking off early, which is noon in London, there is no pre-game coverage. Traditionally, the first Premier League match is at 7:30am ET, providing 30 minutes of coverage before kick-off.
However, the NBC team that finished the game is still available with a game at 9:15. For USA Network viewers, the team behind the desk for postgame coverage is Rebecca Lowe, Tim Howard and Robbie Mustoe.
