Arsenal will be looking to continue their push for a European place via the Premier League when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners are currently enjoying the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League - an eight-game streak that spans the whole of 2020 so far - but go into the weekend ninth in the table and eight points adrift of the top four.
Having seen their midweek game against Manchester City postponed at late notice due to fears over coronavirus, Arsenal travel to Brighton looking to win four league games in a row for the first time since October 2018.

One positive to emerge from the postponement of the Man City match is that the likes of Kieran Tierney have had more time to recover. The Scot was nearing contention for the midweek match after three months out with a shoulder injury and therefore should be available to feature in some capacity this weekend.

Cedric Soares was in line to make his Arsenal debut against Man City having been sidelined with a knee injury since his January move from Southampton. The postponement will have allowed him even more time to recover, though, having returned to full training last weekend.
