Arsenal host Brighton at the Emirates looking to kick-start the Freddie Ljungberg era.
The Gunners did not enjoy an immediate bounce following Unai Emery’s sacking though, drawing 2-2 at Norwich.
And with the visit of the Seagulls, the pressure is on for Ljungberg and his side to keep pace in the battle for a top four finish.
Brighton meanwhile are just a point above the relegation zone.
