Match Preview:

Brighton would be in the top 7 in the Premier League on form alone and they will be relishing playing Arsenal at home on Sunday afternoon. Under Chris Hughton Brighton have found their way in the top tier in recent weeks and have navigated themselves up to 12^th position on 31 points. They will feel that they will need another 10 points to be safe.

Since being slaughtered by Chelsea here at the Amex Stadium in January the club has gone 4 games without defeat, including a very impressive 4-1 victory over Swansea last week. At home the club has lost just 3 games all season and in their past two games here they have scored 7 goals, there is a lot of joy and confidence in this side right now.

But can that be said of Arsenal? After losing in the final of the Carabao Cup last weekend to Manchester City, they were outclassed again by Pep Guardiola’s side on Thursday losing again 3-0, and this time at home.

The Gunners are now 30 points behind the league leaders and 10 points from a Champions League position, have Arsenal ever suffered more under Arsene Wenger? The key here will be whether can Arsenal regroup or will they feel sorry for themselves and put all of their eggs into the Europa League? Form wise the club has lost 3 of their last 4 games and away from home they have lost 3 in a row and haven’t won on the road this year.
