Welcome to Brighton vs Arsenal
Arsenal will look to end 2022 on a high with a win over Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton TONIGHT!
The Gunners retained their five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League table on Monday following a 3-1 win over West Ham.
Mikel Arteta’s side completely dominated the game despite conceding a penalty in the first half.
Eddie Nketiah made his first Premier League start of the season on Monday when he stepped in for the injured Gabriel Jesus, who is expected to be out of action until March.
However, after the game the 22-year-old insisted that he has never intended to replicate his teammate’s style of play.
He said: ” I’m not trying to replace him and I’m not trying to be him. I can’t do what he does and he can’t do what I do.
“We’re different players but at the end of the day we both want to help the team. Whether it’s me or him, we both support each other.”
