Brighton host Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday, March 4, at the Amex Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 local time. The visitors will be hoping to maintain their lead at the top of the table, while the home side know a win could see them jump to as high as 8th depending on other results.

In a busy night of Premier League action, this game could have a key role to play in the destination of the title. Arsenal currently sit five points ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand and host Nottingham Forest at the same time as the Gunners play the Seagulls.

How the teams go into the game: form

Brighton go into the game in high spirits, having won their last two games and ending a losing run. On Sunday, goals from Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck gave them a 2-1 win at home against Nottingham Forest.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions and have also won two on the bounce in the Premier League. Those two games were both significant, with Mikel Arteta’s side defeating Spurs and Chelsea.
