Arsenal return to Premier League action this weekend when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta's men will be looking to return to winning ways after going two games without three points.
The Gunners suffered their second league loss of the season at Villa Park last weekend before drawing 1-1 with PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. Brighton, meanwhile, continued their remarkable journey in midweek with a 1-0 win over Marseille to top their Europa League group stage.
The Seagulls are currently eighth in the Premier League table with 26 points. After losing at Stamford Bridge at the start of the month, Roberto De Zerbi's men defeated Brentford and drew with Burnley in their last two games.
Today's game is the first of four difficult games to face the Gunners between now and the turn of the year. Victory over the Seagulls could see the north Londoners return to the top of the Premier League, depending on how Liverpool get on against Manchester United.
Arsenal's clash with Brighton is one of four Premier League games set to take place this afternoon. Brentford host Aston Villa and West Ham welcome Wolves at 2pm — the same time as kick-off at the Emirates Stadium — before Liverpool and Manchester United face-off at Anfield.
However, unfortunately for supporters in the United Kingdom, the Gunners' clash isn't on TV. West Ham vs Wolves has been selected for TV coverage on Sky Sports, with Liverpool vs Man United following at 4.30pm.
