Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Arsenal live stream, TV channel, lineups, betting odds for Premier League match

Arsenal move into 2023 as Premier League leaders as they prepare to face Brighton & Hove Albion on New Year’s Eve.

Mikel Arteta’s side produced an impressive 3-1 win over West Ham on their return to Premier League action following the World Cup break.

The Gunners lead defending champions Manchester City by five points at the top of the table, but they will face a real test at Brighton.

Roberto De Zerbi’s team won 3-1 at rivals Southampton in their first game following Qatar 2022 and the hosts have a strong record against the Premier League big-hitters in recent seasons.

Brighton vs Arsenal lineups

De Zerbi faces a midfield conundrum ahead of this clash with Moises Caicedo suspended and Jakub Moder injured for the home side.

Alexis MacAllister could be named in the squad after returning from Argentina’s World Cup celebrations, but he is unlikely to start against Arsenal.

Brighton XI (4-2-3-1): Sanchez (GK) — Veltman, Dunk, Colwill, Estupinan — Gross, Gilmour — March, Lallana, Mitoma — Trossard

Arteta’s injury picture is unchanged ahead of this game with Eddie Nketiah set to continue up front in the absence of the injured Gabriel Jesus.

Takehiro Tomiyasu and Emile Smith Rowe are back in training but not match fit, so Arsenal will likely be unchanged from the win over West Ham.

Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney — Xhaka, Partey, Odegaard — Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli

Brighton vs. Arsenal betting odds, prediction

Arsenal’s quest to hold off City in the Premier League title race will be the big story in the 2022/23 campaign run-in.

Arteta’s young charges could upset City’s dominance in the coming months but they need to maintain a winning momentum across this crucial period of games.

Arsenal have only won once in Premier League action at the AMEX Stadium but they have lost just once away from home this season.

Prediction: Arsenal to win 1-0
