Mikel Arteta has called for his Arsenal side to “face the challenge” ahead of them after their dismal 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace and their chance to respond will come against Brighton at the Emirates on Saturday.
The Spaniard highlighted the Gunners’ performance at Selhurst Park as the most disappointing in “a long time” and with Tottenham cranking up the pressure in the race for the top four they can’t afford another slip-up.
Arsenal are behind fourth-place Spurs on goal difference but they still have a game in hand over their rivals.
It looks a good time to face Brighton, who ended a run of six straight defeats with a goalless draw against Norwich City on the weekend.
The fact that that is their best result since early February emphasises just what a disastrous period this has been for the Seagulls – though Graham Potter’s team are at least under no threat of relegation.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Brighton
Palace deserve a huge amount of credit but Arsenal were simply not good enough on Monday night and we can expect a response from them this weekend.
The news that Kieran Tierney is set for knee surgery is a bitter blow for the Gunners but though it is tempting for Arteta to use Granit Xhaka at left-back to replace him, the experienced Swiss midfielder is needed in the centre of the park in the absence of Thomas Partey.
That means Nuno Tavares should get the nod despite a difficult evening for him at Selhurst Park.
Brighton will be buoyed slightly by ending their long losing run last weekend but a visit to the Emirates is a much sterner test than hosting Norwich and they may feel the full force of an Arsenal side looking to make up for Monday’s slip-up.
Our prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Brighton (7/1 at Bet365)
