On the road: Arsenal face Brighton away from home in their penultimate Premier League fixture of the month
A potentially pivotal night in the Premier League title race awaits as Arsenal take on Brighton at the same time as Manchester City host Nottingham Forest. It's heating up at the summit after the top two both won at the weekend, meaning the gap stands at five points, though the Gunners have played a game more than City.
Arsenal appear to have steadied the ship following a recent wobble, beating Tottenham and Chelsea in response to dropping points in successive away games against Brentford and Wolves but could be without Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard for the trip to East Sussex as they bid to beat Brighton for a third time in all competitions this season.
Brighton, meanwhile, have won back-to-back matches since crashing out of the FA Cup to ease any relegation fears and the pressure on head coach Fabian Hurzeler and can put a dent into Arsenal's title ambitions with a big win tonight.
