Arsenal took to the field knowing the result of Man City's match. However, regardless of whether the league leaders win or lose, the Gunners' task remains to secure three points at all costs. Manager Mikel Arteta and his players only have three matches left to keep their hopes of overtaking Man City alive.
After a disappointing run of matches and losing their top spot, Arsenal rediscovered their winning form in their last two games. These were tough matches for the Emirates Stadium side, as Chelsea are always rivals and Newcastle United are having an excellent season. Earning six points against these two opponents helped Arsenal regain their morale.
Arsenal need points to keep their title hopes alive.
Arsenal don't need to worry about their attacking form as their forwards remain consistent. The real concern for Arsenal lies in their defense, with William Saliba still unavailable. However, with manager Arteta starting to experiment with Jakub Kiwior rotating with Rob Holding, Arsenal's defensive problems have a temporary solution.
Arsenal need points to stay in the title race, while Brighton are also desperate for a win to qualify for the Europa League. They are 7 points behind Liverpool, who are in 5th place, but still have two games in hand.
Under manager Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton is a strong team with an exciting style of play. They only lack a high-quality striker to increase the effectiveness of their attack. Additionally, their thin squad is also a problem.
In the previous round, De Zerbi's team lost to Everton – a team battling relegation – with a score of 1-5. However, Brighton didn't play badly in that match. They were capable of causing Arsenal a lot of problems even playing away from home. Nevertheless, the lack of a top-class striker will make it difficult for Brighton to earn points.
Predicted lineups for Arsenal vs Brighton
Arsenal: Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney; Odegaard, Jorginho, Xhaka; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
