As Arsenal prepares for their upcoming clash with Brighton, their squad is approaching full fitness, providing Manager Mikel Arteta with optimism ahead of the game. A victory against Brighton could see them climb to third place in the Premier League standings, although the rankings are subject to change.
The match against Brighton presents an opportunity for Arsenal to exert pressure on their rivals, especially with Liverpool facing Manchester United the next day. After a recent fixture against Luton Town, Arsenal’s players are expected to be refreshed and ready for the challenge awaiting them down south.
Brighton, under the management of Roberto De Zerbi, has faced difficulties in securing wins recently, settling for a 0-0 draw against Brentford in their latest outing. Despite this, their home form remains formidable, with just one league defeat all season and two losses across all competitions. Arsenal will need to manage their squad effectively, especially with a crucial Champions League encounter against Bayern Munich on the horizon.
Arteta can take comfort in having rested key players during the Luton Town victory. However, all eyes are on Bukayo Saka as he approaches a return to action, with his potential comeback expected to provide a significant boost to the team’s morale and performance.
