Arsenal vs. Brighton Preview

Form Guide

The Gunners had their four-match winning streak in the league snapped by Aston Villa on Matchday 16, losing 1-0 at Villa Park last Saturday.

That result and Liverpool's victory over Crystal Palace saw Arsenal drop to second in the league table.

Brighton have won just twice in their last five league games, recording two draws and one loss during that span.

The Seagulls will head to their showdown with momentum on their side, though, after beating Marseille 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday.

Joao Pedro starred for Brighton in that game, scoring the match-winner in the 88th minute, per the BBC.

They advanced to the round of 16 after topping their group, which also included Ajax and AEK Athens.

Head-to-Head Matchups

Arsenal and Brighton split their two meetings in the league last season.

The Gunners defeated the Seagulls 4-2 at American Express Stadium on December 31, 2022.

Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah, and Gabriel Martinelli scored the goals for Arsenal, while Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson found the back of the net for Brighton.

The Seagulls returned the favour when they visited the Emirates Stadium on May 14, recording a 3-0 win over Arsenal. Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav, and Pervis Estupinan scored the goals for Brighton in the rout.

Brighton have won their last three games at the Emirates Stadium against the Gunners in all competitions, per Talksport.

Team News

Mohamed Elneny finally made his start for Arsenal in their Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.

His first game for the Gunners as a starter this season didn't go according to plan, however, as he suffered a hamstring injury just after the hour mark.

It's still unclear if he will miss the game against Brighton as a result.

Martinelli missed the midweek game against PSV due to illness, but he is expected to be fit in time for the Brighton clash.

Thomas Partey is stepping up his injury recovery, but his return to the lineup is still likely a few weeks away.
