Arsenal can close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to three points with a win at Brighton on Saturday afternoon – if only until the Reds host Man Utd at Anfield the following day.

The Gunners finished 2024 in second courtesy of wins either side of Christmas, and have carried over their strong form into the new year.

Mikel Arteta's side came from behind to beat Brentford 3-1 in West London on New Year's Day.

They'll hope to have Kai Havertz and Declan Rice back to 100 per cent for the trip to the South Coast this weekend, after neither played a minute against the Bees, but are without Bukayo Saka and have a problem at right-back as Jurrien Timber is suspended while both Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still sidelined.

Brighton have fitness issues of their own and could be without up to seven players at the Amex after Fabian Hürzeler confirmed Danny Welbeck, Evan Ferguson, and new signing Diego Gómez will all be absent.

The Seagulls have gone seven games without a win after a fast start to Hürzeler's tenure, but will take confidence from the fact the points were shared at the Emirates in August while they battled back impressively to close out 2024 with a draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park to finish 2024 in 10th.
