Arsenal take on Brighton in the Premier League, as they face their first test following securing top spot before Christmas Day. Mikel Arteta is starting to get a look at a fully available squad after the first half of the season was ravaged by injuries.
Kai Havertz and Gabriel Magalhaes are pushing for a return before the end of the year. While the return of Gabriel Jesus has helped massively as the Gunners aim to continue their winning form.
Danny Welbeck is expected to return for Brighton as Fabian Hurzeler aims to continue the Seagulls’ good form in North London. Whereas Arteta will lean on the victory from earlier in the season in the League Cup as a reason to be confident.
