Arsenal, Recent FormThe Arsenal players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Aston Villa recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. During that encounter they had 61% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
Manager Mikel Arteta will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well at The Emirates Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
Goalscorer Eddie Nketiah will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Arsenal.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormBrighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Burnley. Their share of possession in that meeting was 72%, while racking up 29 shots along the way, 11 of which were on target. Burnley had 6 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that De Zerbi will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring now stands at 32 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 20 games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
João Pedro will be hoping to create problems for Arsenal in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Brighton & Hove Albion.
Arsenal will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-3 defeat.
Arsenal have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with The Seagulls.
In the league, Brighton has a good track record when they travel to Arsenal, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Thomas Partey (Muscle), Emile Smith Rowe (Knee), Jurriën Timber (Knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Calf) and Fábio Vieira (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
