In an overall disappointing campaign for Arsenal, there were some bright sparks as 20-year-old Emile Smith Rowe and 19-year-old Bukayo Saka excelled carrying the team on their backs at times.
Despite the club’s lousy season in North London, Brighton manager Potter has praised Arteta for the job he does: “You can tell they’re disappointed that a club of that size always competes in the top leagues. , but sometimes that happens in football. but they have performed very well in games and should have won and scored more.
“They have missed several opportunities. They can still attack you from any area of the field, progressing as a team, Mikel progressing there.
“They will be strong and will fight for the points to enter Europe. Since they were discharged a few months ago, they are still fighting and that is an honor for them. They will become a strong team. «
Arsenal beat Brighton 1-0 earlier this season after Alexandre Lacazette’s goal, but they don’t have the best record against the Seagulls since their promotion to the Premier League in 2017.

Arsenal have won four league games in a row, including a 1-0 win against Chelsea, so they will enter Sunday’s game with confidence and speed, something that has been a rarity for the Gunners this season.
