Brighton will face a tough challenge in North London on Saturday against the league leaders.
Fabian Hürzeler’s team is without a win in their last four Premier League matches. The manager also has a unique challenge in December, as he has never won a Premier League game during this month. Nevertheless, Brighton has a history of strong performances at the Emirates Stadium.
They have remained unbeaten in their last four league encounters with Arsenal leading up to this season. With important players back from suspension, Brighton aims to regain their scoring ability after failing to score in their last two matches.
Brighton team news
Fabian Hürzeler has received good news with the return of captain Lewis Dunk and midfielder Diego Gómez from suspension. Both are expected to return to the starting lineup. There’s also optimism that Danny Welbeck and Jan Paul van Hecke will be fit after missing the previous match.
However, the midfield will miss Carlos Baleba, who has gone to the Africa Cup of Nations. Adam Webster is still out due to injury. Georginio Rutter is poised to lead the attack, supported by Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh, as Brighton seeks to break their scoring drought.
