JUMP TO:
Arsenal head to Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday hoping to maintain a five-point advantage over Manchester City at the top of the standings.
This will be one of the only matchdays remaining this season when City and the Gunners kick off at the same time. Pep Guardiola’s team host Nottingham Forest while Arsenal are on the south coast.
As we approach crunch time in the title race, Mikel Arteta and his players will know that they cannot afford to suffer many more slip-ups if they are to improve on three consecutive second-places finishes in England’s top flight.
