Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Still alive in the two-horse Premier League title race, Arsenal return to the Emirates Stadium to tackle Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners made it back-to-back wins with a gritty 2-0 triumph at Newcastle United last weekend thanks to Martin Odegaard‘s peach of a strike and a Fabian Schar own goal.

That success allowed Mikel Arteta‘s men to cut the gap to Manchester City in the table down to one point, but the champions hold a game in hand and meet Everton a couple of hours before the Gunners and the Seagulls kick off.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Brighton, who were unexpectedly demolished 5-1 by Everton last time out.
