Is Brighton vs Arsenal on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League fixture
Arsenal have the chance to return to the top of the Premier League table as the Gunners visit Brighton and Hove Albion in the title race.
Mikel Arteta was able to rotate his line-up ahead of a busy run of fixtures for the visit of depleted Luton Town in midweek, with Arsenal easing to a comfortable 2-0 victory at the Emirates.
A trip to the south coast should represent a tougher challenge, while Arsenal must also keep their focus on the title race with the first-leg of Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich to come on Tuesday. Arsenal can put the pressure on Liverpool ahead of their trip to Old Trafford tomorrow.
Brighton have won just one of their last five in the Premier League, with Roberto De Zerbi’s side dropping more points in their 0-0 stalemate at Brentford in midweek. Arsenal were 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

What is the team news?
Brighton could welcome back defender Pervis Estupinan but De Zerbi remains without several key players including Kaoru Mitoma, Solly March, James Milner and Billy Gilmour. Forward Julio Enciso is working his way back to full fitness after appearing off the bench in the 0-0 draw at Brentford.
Bukayo Saka is a doubt for Arsenal, but Arteta is set to bring back several stars who were afforded a rest in midweek, including Declan Rice. Gabriel Martinelli may be fit enough to make his first start since the 6-0 win at Sheffield United following consecutive appearances off the bench.
