Brighton’s key player, who cost Arsenal the title hope last season, is now injured. Big blow for Roberto De Zerbi as Arteta’s Men ready to revenge last year success.

Ahead of their upcoming clash with Brighton this Saturday, Arsenal is inching towards a full squad recovery as they strive to reclaim their spot atop the Premier League. The Gunners’ journey to the south coast could see them solidify third place in the standings, though the landscape may shift once more come kick-off.
As Liverpool gears up to face Manchester United on Sunday, Mikel Arteta’s side sees an opportunity to apply pressure on their title contenders. Fresh from their mid-week fixture against Luton Town, Arsenal anticipates a rejuvenated squad ready to tackle the challenge ahead.
Despite Brighton’s recent struggle to secure victories, Roberto De Zerbi’s side boasts a formidable home record, having suffered only one league defeat all season and two losses in total across all competitions. Arsenal must strategize their squad selection carefully, particularly with a crucial Champions League encounter against Bayern Munich looming.
Arteta finds solace in having rested key players during their triumph over Luton Town, with all eyes on Bukayo Saka as he nears a return to the pitch. Saka’s potential comeback promises to provide a significant lift to the team’s morale and performance.
