Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion: match preview

Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion
Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Alexandre Lacazette has been Arsenal’s good luck charm at home this season scoring four in his three appearances, with Arsène Wenger’s side collecting maximum points in the process. So can Brighton stop the Frenchman from extending his streak? Chris Hughton’s side have been typically tight at the back compared to teams around them but the Emirates is their toughest trip to date and West Brom’s failure to thwart Lacazette would suggest Albion will too. Graham Searles
