Brighton will be looking to heap even more misery on Arsenal when they host the Gunners in the Premier League today at the Falmer Stadium.
Chris Hughton’s side come into today’s clash in impressive form having avoided defeat in their last five games. Brighton – who were promoted to the Premier League last summer – find themselves in 12th spot, four points above the relegation zone.
Arsenal meanwhile have had a week to forget. The Gunners suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Man City in the Carabao Cup final last weekend. Arsene Wenger’s side suffered yet another 3-0 defeat to Man City in the LEague on Thursday night.
