The last time the Bees played Arsenal was in the Carabao Cup quarter-final in 2018. Alan Judge scored with a brilliant free-kick but apart from that the 3-1 defeat was a game to forget. Now being at home to Arsenal will give the Bees a great start to life back in the top tier. BU Contributing Editor, Bill Hagerty, also thinks it will be fitting to start back where the Bees left off in 1947.
