Overview
- Kick-off is 15:00 GMT at the Emirates, with Arsenal two points clear at the top and potentially starting the day in second if Manchester City win earlier.
- Multiple previews tip recalls for David Raya, Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyökeres after midweek rotation.
- Mikel Arteta says Kai Havertz is "quite close" to a return and it could be a matter of days for his matchday inclusion, though his involvement today is unconfirmed.
- Gabriel Magalhães has not trained and is unlikely to feature, Ben White and Cristhian Mosquera remain out, and late checks are expected on Piero Hincapié and Gabriel Martinelli.
- Arsenal seek a lift after three games without an open‑play goal despite generating over 6 xG, facing a Brighton side winless in four as Lewis Dunk returns from suspension.
