Arsenal will look to keep their Premier League title aspirations alive as they travel to the AMEX to take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Despite plugging away relentlessly in midweek against Brentford, Brighton's profligacy in front of goal saw them settle for a goalless stalemate. They took 24 shots against the Bees on Wednesday, the most they've fired in a single Premier League encounter without scoring a goal.
The Seagulls are languishing at ninth in the Premier League table, having picked up just one win in their last six matches in the top flight.
Their European dreams are still attainable with seventh-placed West Ham only two points ahead of them and Roberto De Zerbi's men will be vying to get the Gunners' title dreams in a tangle on Saturday.
Trending
Meanwhile, following their goalless stalemate against Manchester City last weekend, Arsenal got back to winning ways in midweek by beating Luton Town 2-0. Martin Odegaard opened the scoring for the Gunners before a Daiki Hashioka own goal provided some cushion to their lead shortly before half-time.
Mikel Arteta's men will fancy their chances on Saturday, having kept successive clean sheets in their last four away Premier League matches. With Liverpool securing a 3-1 win over Sheffield United on Thursday and maintaining their two-point lead at the top of the table, the pressure is back on Arsenal.

The Gunners are almost at full strength and have enough quality in their ranks to grind out a win on Saturday.
