Match Details
Doors open at 11a.
Just win. Sounds easy, but Brighton haven't lost at home in the league since August.
Before welcoming Bayern Munich next week, Arsenal will first need to handle the Seagulls. Roberto De Zerbi's men find themselves in ninth place, having struggled to balance injuries, the PL, and their Europa League campaign. Arsenal, on the other hand, are flying high, remaining unbeaten in 2024.
Brighton have been without star Kaoru Mitoma for much of the season, but they still carry plenty of threat and the ability to keep possession. Joao Pedro and Simon Adingra will be looking to continue their fine scoring form. And, having scored recently at Anfield, former Gunner Danny Welbeck will be hoping to find the back of the net. In fact, in four of his last five starts against Arsenal, Welbeck has scored. Brighton have more than enough to trouble Arsenal, and they'll be thinking fondly of their trip to the Emirates last May, a match that ended 3-0 in their favor.
Goals from Jesus and Havertz saw the Gunners take the points in December. Having rotated heavily in midweek, Mikel Arteta will be hoping for a more regular eleven. Bukayo Saka's fitness has been a mystery lately, and players like Jesus, Partey, Zinchenko, and Tomiyasu are all being managed carefully after long lay-offs. But the run-in doesn't listen to excuses: Arsenal will know they need 3 points at the Amex, whoever wears the shirt.
Can Arteta keep his men focused on the task at hand? Or will his team be dreaming of Europe long enough to drop valuable points? Join us at Dillons on Saturday afternoon for another ninety minutes of drama.
