JUST keep winning and see what happens – that’s what Mikel Arteta will be telling his Arsenal side who welcome Brighton in the next challenge for their Premier League title bid.
The Gunners were thrown into a pressure cooker situation on Sunday after seeing Manchester City stretch their gap at the top to four points.
Martin Odegaard captained Arsenal to a huge win over Newcastle
Brighton got humiliated 5-1 at the AMEX by Everton
However, Martin Odegaard’s masterclass helped Arsenal to survive the heat and keep their title hopes alive by inspiring the North London outfit to a gruelling 2-0 at St. James’ Park.
And they’ll be itching to capitalise on a wounded Brighton side who were recently thrashed by relegation-threatened Everton.
But the Seagulls are remarkably chasing European football next campaign so they’ll be determined to keep in touching distance with the teams above.

What is the team news?
There is no change on the injury front for Arsenal which means William Saliba (back), Mohamed Elneny (knee) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) will continue to miss out.
William Saliba has missed a number of games through a back injury
But Brighton’s treatment room has a list full of patients too as Jeremy Sarmiento (toe), Adam Lallana (thigh), Joel Veltman (muscle) and Tariq Lamptey (knee) are all likely to be unavailable.
However, Jakub Moder returned training after his knee injury so Roberto De Zerbi will be hoping the midfielder can make a substitute appearance at the least.
What are the odds?
- Arsenal to win 8/11
- Draw 29/10
- Brighton to win 10/3
