Gunners arrive at the Amex
Arsenal have arrived on the south coast.
A certain Bukayo Saka has stepped off the team bus, which suggests he will be involved in some way.
Game faces are active, they have a job to do.
Will Saka feature?
This is a question that has been asked all week.
Bukayo Saka had featured in 104 out of a possible 105 league matches before Arsenal’s win over Luton, in which he sat out.
Many thought that was to give him a much-needed rest, but maybe it was more serious than that.
Mikel Arteta has said Saka faces a late fitness test, and he was not seen in training on Friday.
Will the England international be fit to make the squad? We will find out in just over five minutes.
You shall not pass!
Please tell me everybody read that sub-heading in the voice of Gandalf. Well, that’s what I did as I wrote it.
The saying reigns very true with Arsenal at the moment, they have conceded just one goal and faced only five shots on target in their last five away league matches.
The Gunners have the best defensive record in the league, having only conceded 24 goals this season.
The impressive record is largely down to the partnership between William Saliba and Gabriel. They have been rocks at the back,
Will they grab another clean sheet today?
Top spot beckoning for Arsenal?
The top three spots in this title race are forever interchanging.
After Manchester City’s win earlier, Arsenal now sit third in the Premier League but can go a point clear at the summit with a win over Brighton today, as Liverpool don’t play until tomorrow.
Arsenal haven’t lost in the league since the turn of the year, and the way they are playing at the moment, you feel that run could continue at the Amex.
However, Brighton are no slouch. Roberto De Zerbi’s side pushed Liverpool to their limits at Anfield last week, and are known for getting in Arsenal’s way.
Today’s class is a mouth-watering prospect, let’s hope it delivers.
The turn of the Gunners
Oh would you look at that, I’m back again, I hope you all didn’t miss me for too long.
So, now that Manchester City have done their job in this enthralling title race, it’s now the turn of Arsenal.
The Gunners can retake top spot from Liverpool with a win over Brighton, but it won’t be straightforward, the Seagulls are fighting for Europe.
Mikel Arteta’s side barely got out of second gear against Luton in midweek, but you’d expect them to be pushed hard by Roberto De Zerbi’s side today.
I can’t wait for this one, can you? This title race has me well and truly gripped, and it’s not letting me go.
Can Arsenal respond to City? Let’s find out.
