Brentford return to the top flight football for the first time since 1947. They will play host to Arsenal on Friday evening at sold-out Brentford Community Stadium in the very first fixture of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign.
Brentford finally made it count in May this year when they saw off both Bournemouth and Swansea in the Championship playoffs to secure their first elite class appearance since 1947.
They will host Arsenal in the first game of the season and there are no doubt the local fans will create an electrifying atmosphere to salute the efforts Thomas Frank and his men have done in the previous season.
The Bees will come into this affair as underdogs despite finding the right shape in their final two pre-season exhibitions.
Frank’s troops scored five goals in back-to-back wins over lower-division Southend (a 3-2 win) and La Liga side Valencia (a 2-1 win).
The achievement is greater if we know they’ve done so without the help of their talisman Ivan Toney who skipped these outings through a slight knock.
Toney, who bagged 31 goals in the previous term of the Championship, will be ready to feature Brentford’s season opener.

布伦特福德队自1947年以来首次重返顶级联赛。他们将在周五晚上主场迎战阿森纳，这是21/22赛季英超联赛的第一场比赛。
今年5月，布伦特福德终于在季后赛中击败了伯恩茅斯和斯旺西，确保了他们自1947年以来的首次精英阵容亮相。
他们将在本赛季的第一场比赛中主场迎战阿森纳，毫无疑问，当地球迷将会创造出一种激动人心的气氛，向托马斯·弗兰克和他的队员们在上个赛季所做的努力致敬。
尽管在最后两场季前赛中都找到了合适的状态，但蜜蜂队将会以不被看好的状态进入这场比赛。
弗兰克的球队在与低级别联赛的索森德(3-2胜)和西甲球队瓦伦西亚(2-1胜)的背对背比赛中共进5球。
如果我们知道他们没有他们的护身符伊万·托尼的帮助，他们的成就是更大的，他通过轻微的敲打跳过了这些比赛。
托尼在上个赛季的英冠联赛中打进了31个进球，他将准备参加布伦特福德的赛季揭幕战。
