Arsenal's recent form has been commendable, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six matches across all competitions. Their home performance in the English Premier League has been particularly strong, boasting a winning streak in their last five home games. They've only drawn once at home in eight league matches, against Manchester City, with an impressive goal difference of 25 goals scored and only 6 conceded. However, the midweek League Cup match against Crystal Palace, which went to extra time and penalties, has taken a toll, potentially impacting their physical condition. Manager Mikel Arteta is likely to rotate the squad. Brighton Hove Albion also face squad limitations. Midfielder Carlos Baleba is unavailable due to his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, significantly impacting the team's midfield control. Solly March and Adam Webster remain sidelined due to long-term injuries. However, there's positive news for Brighton: Captain Lewis Dunk and Diogo Gomes are back from suspension after accumulating five yellow cards, which should strengthen their defense and midfield creativity. Additionally, Danny Welbeck and Jan Paul van Hecke have recovered from injuries; Welbeck, a former Arsenal player, often performs well against his old club.
