Arsenal continue their title push with a trip to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Wednesday night. The Gunners secured a crucial 2-1 win against London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium to increase the gap to second-placed Manchester City back up to five points, with the Cityzens having won 1-0 at Leeds United.
Meanwhile, Brighton sealed back-to-back league wins for the first time since November, interestingly also against Brentford and Nottingham Forest, as they beat the latter 2-1 on home soil. The Seagulls have their own ambitions of breaking into the top half of the table and possibly even making a late dash for the European places, so this will likely not be an easy game for the Gunners.
