Arsenal are out to build on their terrific north London derby victory as they travel to face Brighton this evening.
After a disastrous start to the season, when they lost their opening three league games, Mikel Arteta’s side appear to have turned a corner, winning three on the spin, culminating in last weekend’s 3-1 thumping of Tottenham at the Emirates.
That victory did come at some cost, however, with midfielder Granit Xhaka picking up a knee injury that is expected to rule him out for three months, which could prompt Arteta into a tactical rejig at the Amex.
In wait are a Brighton side who had chance to go top of the Premier League when they faced rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night, but in the end they needed a late equaliser from Neal Maupay to rescue a point.
