Brentford boss Thomas Frank admitted it was easier to plan against Arsenal as they often play the same team.
The Gunners have been known to stick to a favored starting lineup under manager Mikel Arteta.
Speaking after his side's 1-1 draw with the Gunners in the Premier League, Bees boss Frank felt that was an advantage for him leading up to the game.
In a way, yes," Frank answered when asked that question by a reporter post-game.
He then added more context: "But they are very good at what they are doing. It's about eliminating their threats.
We were very aware of doubling up on Saka and Martinelli.
There was one moment when we didn't have everything bang on and that's when they scored."
