England – Premier League | Arsenal VS Brighton; Sunday, 17 December at 22:00 GMT +8

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta made significant rotations in the Group B finale, resulting in a 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven. The Gunners are now aiming to avoid a three-match winless streak after a 0-1 defeat against Aston Villa. They have lost their top spot to Liverpool, who secured a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace. With an earlier kick-off, Arsenal will try to temporarily seize the summit and exert pressure on Klopp’s team. The team is trailing by just one point.

Brighton Hove & Albion secured the top spot in Group B of the Europa League by beating French side Marseille 1-0. They bounced back after a 1-1 draw with Burnley, despite dominance. The Seagulls now face a 17th week of top-flight fixtures, currently in eighth place with a seven-point gap behind reigning champion Manchester City, who holds the fourth spot and the final Champions League ticket. The Seagulls’ success in Group B and last week’s draw demonstrates their resilience and potential for success.

Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Jurrien Timber, experienced midfielders, were joined by Mohamed Elneny in the treatment room after a hamstring injury during the Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven. Manager Mikel Arteta rested key players in the non-important match, but they are expected to return on Sunday, including Gabriel Martinelli and Bukaya Saka, who have minor health concerns.

The Seagulls are without at least seven players due to injury, including Adam Webster, Pervis Estupinan, Tariy Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Solly March, Julio Enciso, and striker Danny Welbeck. Despite a 1-1 draw against Burnley, coach Roberto De Zerbi may use the same eleven for Sunday’s visit to the Emirates Stadium.
