The Gunners lost 1-0 at Aston Villa last weekend, just their second PL loss of the season. They’ve since bounced back with a young, second-choice squad against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, but won’t be anything but ornery with first place in their Premier League windshield.
Arsenal played Tuesday in the UCL and they’ll have a weary-enough foe in Brighton, who played Thursday at home to Marseille in the Europa League
The Seagulls have had a stop-start two months after a hot start saw them win five of six and a cool fall go six without a win. Wins over Nottingham Forest and Brentford were followed by a loss to Chelsea and draw with Burnley, respectively.
