GOODNEWS: Brighton’s key player, who cost Arsenal the title hope last season, is now injured. Big blow for Roberto De Zerbi as Arteta’s Men ready to revenge last year success.

As Arsenal aim to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League table this Saturday, they are edging closer to having a fully fit squad. The Gunners are set to travel to Brighton, where they could potentially secure the third spot by kick-off, although the standings may fluctuate once again.
With Liverpool scheduled to play against Manchester United on Sunday evening, Mikel Arteta’s team has an opportunity to exert pressure on their title rivals. Following their mid-week fixture against Luton Town, the squad is expected to be refreshed and ready for the challenge awaiting them on the south coast.
Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton side recently struggled to secure a win, managing only a 0-0 draw against Brentford in their most recent match. Despite this, their home record remains strong, with just one league defeat all season and only two losses in all competitions. Arsenal will need to deploy their squad wisely, especially with a crucial Champions League clash against Bayern Munich looming on the horizon.
Arteta can take comfort in having rested a core group of players during the victory over Luton Town. However, all eyes are on Bukayo Saka as he inches closer to making a return to action, with his presence potentially adding a significant boost to the team.
