Arsenal will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League as Mikel Arteta's side play host to Brighton on December 17.
The Gunners lost 1-0 at in-form Aston Villa last weekend as rivals Liverpool moved above them to go top of the Premier League table.
Arteta's charges wrapped up their Champions League group stage campaign with a midweek 1-1 draw at PSV Eindhoven — with a Round of 16 spot already assured before kickoff — while Brighton battled in midweek to reach the Europa League knockout stages.

Arsenal vs Brighton lineups
Arteta rotated his team for the trip to Eindhoven with key players given a break on the back of a busy schedule. However, he recalled his regular Premier League starters for this game with Gabriel Martinelli also back following illness.
Mohamed Elneny is set for another spell on the sidelines after suffering a thigh injury on his return to action in the Netherlands.
Arsenal lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko — Odegaard, Rice, Havertz — Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton injury list remains unchanged ahead of this game with Ansu Fati, Pervis Estupinan and Solly March all ruled out until 2024. James Milner starts at left-back, with Kaoru Mitoma fit to return to the starting XI and former Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck on the bench.
Brighton lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Verbruggen (GK) — Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Milner — Gross, Gilmour — Adingra, Lallana, Mitoma — Ferguson
Arsenal vs Brighton prediction
Arsenal will be determined to pick up a crucial victory as their title rivals aim to increase the pressure before the end of 2023.
Arteta's side also have two extra rest days following their trip to Eindhoven, with Brighton completing their Europa League group stage campaign at home to Marseille on Thursday, and that could be a key factor.
The Gunners are unbeaten at home in the Premier League so far this season and Brighton have won just once in their past five away league outings.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Brighton
