ARSENAL’S title race run-in continues with a tough trip to Brighton – and they cannot afford any slip-ups.
The Gunners are on a rich vein of form having won nine out of their last ten Premier League games.
And relegation-threatened Luton most recently fell victim to Arsenal’s good run courtesy of Martin Odegaard’s opener and Daiki Hashioka’s own goal.
But Mikel Arteta’s men now face a Brighton side who they have had many issues with in the past.
However, Arsenal should feel confident as the Seagulls failed to beat 15th-placed Brentford in their last outing and they have been inconsistent all season.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta will be hoping star boy Bukayo Saka will be fit enough to return having missed the 2-0 win against Luton.
