Personal AreaMatch Overview
In Arsenal's continued resistance at the top of the league table and endeavour to wrest the title back from Manchester City somehow, they host the up-and-coming Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The visiting side will not be easy opponents by any means and the Gunners will want to make sure that they do not take them for granted at all.
Key Highlights
Brighton, positioned in the 7th spot of the league table with 55 points inside their kitty, will feel that they need to put in some more inspired performances to qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season. For Arsenal, this fixture is crucial as it will decide if they can continue to challenge Manchester City for the title after having bottled clear-cut chances to wrap it up without any fuss. At the moment, City are ranked at the top with one point more than the Gunners and a game in hand.
Injury Report
Arsenal will be without their long-term absentees Takehiro Tomiyasu, William Saliba and Mohamed Elneny whereas Brighton will have to make do with the absence of Tariq Lamptey, Solly March, Joel Veltman, Jeremy Sarmiento, Jakub Moder and Adam Lallana, all due to injuries of their own.
Prediction
Neither of the two teams appear to be the favourites to win this game just yet. Although Arsenal have the support of their home conditions and fans, Brighton's star is on the rise and will challenge them throughout the ninety minutes of gametime. We expect both teams to score in this game. It should be a very closely-fought contest.
