Arsenal vs Brighton: Where to watch the match online, live stream, TV channels, and kick-off time

Premier League leaders Arsenal return home to face Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.  

Arsenal are treading a fine line between champions' luck and a side scraping results recently. Their past three games haven't been convincing by any stretch of imagination.  The Gunners can be given the benefit of the doubt in their most recent Carabao Cup outing. Mikel Arteta rotated his entire lineup as they dominated Crystal Palace. But it did take an owngoal to open the scoring, and the game went to penalties anyway. Kepa Arrizabalaga stepped up to send them through to the semis. However, the concerning stat for Arsenal is that they haven't scored from open play in three games. The wins against Wolves and Everton were extremely close as Arteta is managing minutes and injuries. They might most probably start the game in second place if Manchester City win their game on Saturday and have to reclaim their top spot for a second week running.   

Brighton played out an uninspiring 0-0 draw against Sunderland on the weekend. The Seagulls were blunt in front of the goal and were happy to settle for a point. It took their winless run to four games in the Premier League. Fabian Hurzeler's side are failing to translate good periods of play into results. Despite not winning in four games, they still sit ninth in the table and are just three points shy of European spots. If they can pick up another famous away victory at Emirates Stadium, they can get their season back on track. Arsenal dumped them out of the Carabao Cup earlier, and this game gives them a chance to avenge it as well.
