Arsenal set to get backArsenal will be looking to move back into the top four when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners slipped to fifth in the Premier League table level with fourth place Tottenham Hotspur after losing to Crystal Palace last time out.

Meanwhile, Brighton find themselves in thirteenth place – 20 points behind Arsenal and – have failed to win any of their last seven league outings.

Despite racking up 69% possession and 12 shots, the Gunners were crushed 3-0 by Crystal Palace in the previous round. That means they have lost two of their past three Premier League games after falling to Liverpool before the international break.

When you look at the bigger picture, however, Mikel Arteta’s side have won six of their previous eight Premier League matches. It is also worth noting that Arsenal have the fifth-best defensive record in the division, having conceded 34 goals in 29 games this season.

On the flip side, Brighton head into Saturday’s clash on a seven-game winless run in the Premier League. The Seagulls suffered six straight defeats between mid-February and mid-March before recording a goalless draw with Norwich last weekend.

Not only have Graham Potter’s men failed to score in each of their last three league games, but they have also failed to score in six of their previous seven.

With that statistic in mind, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that Brighton are the third-lowest scorers in England’s top tier.

Head-to-head: Arsenal (14 wins) and Brighton (5 wins) have faced each other on 24 occasions over the years (5 draws).

The Gunners come into this clash on a three-game unbeaten streak against the Seagulls and have also kept three straight clean sheets in this fixture.

Team news: Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Thomas Partey are also doubts for Saturday.

As for Brighton, Jakub Moder is also out for the season with a knee injury, while Adam Webster and Moises Caicedo are doubts for this weekend.
