Arsenal head to Brighton after an impressive 3-1 win over Chelsea on the Emirates on Boxing Day.
The pressure was reduced on embattled coach Mikel Arteta after his young team ended its seven-game winless streak in the league.
The game will mark Seagulls boss Graham Potter’s 100th league game as the boss in English football.
Arsenal face Potter’s team who have won just once in 13 league games, drawing seven and losing five times, having won just 17 points from 15 games, representing Albion’s worst start to a season in the league. top category.
Ironically, Brighton’s only home win in 16 league games in 2020 was a 2-1 June win over Arsenal. Since then they have drawn eight times and suffered seven defeats.
Albion is undefeated in six games against teams in the lower half of the table, winning once and drawing five, although the home team they have lost their last game in a calendar year just once in seven seasons.
Arsenal’s win over the Blues was full of youthful passion and a lot of energy. Granit Xhaka and Hector Bellerin, experienced high-level professionals, also stepped forward after irregular form and indiscipline.
It’s all about consistency now, and the win over Chelsea, while satisfying, will mean nothing if it’s not backed up with three points on the south coast tonight.
