Latest Brighton news
Fabian Hurzeler’s team is going through its best moment in weeks. After a worrying streak in which they had barely achieved a victory in 13 games and were eliminated from the FA Cup, the Seagulls reacted with two consecutive wins against Brentford and Nottingham Forest. That recovery relieved the pressure on the German coach and returned the team to the fight for more ambitious goals.
Located in the middle of the table, the team from the south of England still dreams of getting closer to European positions, although for that they need consistency. Tactically and, specifically in attack, Danny Welbeck would continue as a reference, accompanied by Kaoru Mitoma and Diego Gómez to provide speed and imbalance on the sides.
Possible Brighton lineup against Arsenal (4-3-3): Bart Verbruggen; Jan Paul van Hecke, Ferdi Kadioglu, Lewis Dunk, Mats Wieffer; Jack Hinshelwood, Pascal Grob, James Milner; Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma, Diego Gómez
Latest Arsenal news
Mikel Arteta’s team arrives in the south of England as the leader of the Premier, with five points ahead of City, although with one more match played. The 2-1 against the Blues once again showed strength in set pieces (a resource that is already a trademark this season), but it also left a lot to analyze in the defense of corners and in certain passages where the team lost control. Beyond criticism of style, the coach prioritizes results in this decisive stretch, aware that the objective is to end a league drought that dates back to 2003/04.
In football, the base remains. Solidity at the back and a top midfield with Declan Rice and Martín Zubimendi as axes. However, the week left physical questions. Rice asked for the change against Chelsea and will be evaluated until the last minute, while Martin Odegaard is still not 100% fit with his knee and could be sidelined again. Kai Havertz, who reappeared after his muscle discomfort, will also be managed with caution, so adjustments in the playmaker area are not ruled out.

With the FA Cup on the horizon and the need to maintain the pace in the league, Arteta will have to balance loads without giving up competitiveness in a match that, although complex, appears as a key opportunity to consolidate his candidacy for the title.
Possible Arsenal lineup against Brighton (4-2-3-1): David Raya; Piero Hincapié, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Jurriën Timber; Martín Zubimendi, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Leandro Trossard; Victor Gyökeres
Forecast YES
Arsenal start as favorites, but it doesn’t seem like a game for a comfortable win. Brighton is going through a moment of recovery, it has its own objectives in the final stretch of the championship and in its stadium it usually competes with intensity. It will not be an easy procedure, especially if the leader once again shows some doubts in defense as happened in passages against Chelsea.
The victory in the derby can function as a morale boost for Arteta’s men, who know that they cannot give ground in the fight for the title.
