Match statistic
Arsenal will look to end the year five points in the clear at the top of the Premier League table as they travel to the Amex to face Brighton in what will be the most anticipated fixture this weekend. Having triumphed in 13 of their opening 15 top-flight fixtures of the season, the capital club are daring to dream about clinching a first English crown since the days of the 2003-04 ‘Invincibles’. The Gunners resumed their quest for Premier League glory with a well-deserved 3-1 win over West Ham on Boxing Day, with a second-half comeback further solidifying the notion that Arsenal are here to stay in the title race and they will now look to end the calendar year by earning three points in East Sussex. Brighton though pose a very tough opponent for the league leaders, as the Seagulls have continued to punch above their weight this season and they currently sit seventh in the Premier League.
