Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta attends a press conference before away clash with Brighton
Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Brighton in the Premier League at the Amex Stadium. The Gunners boss wants to keep up his side’s perfect record but faces a stern test.
The Seagulls have just knocked Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford, but did so at the cost of one fewer day of recovery compared to Arsenal who won comfortably at Ipswich Town on Tuesday evening. Missing the game were five senior defenders who the Gunners boss will hopefully provide some more clarification on.
The most attention is on the right back position after both Ben White and Jurrien Timber missed the game. The fixture reunites Arteta with Fabian Hurzeler after the pair had a frenetic meeting in last season’s match on the south coast.
