Brighton vs Arsenal - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as The Gunners look to respond to Manchester City's win and retake top spot with Liverpool not playing until Sunday

It's a big day for Julio Enciso.

It's been a tough season for the Paraguay international, he has only made six appearances this term due to an injury wiping him out for six months.

Enciso has struggled to find his form from last campaign since his return, but on his day he can produce the goods.

Roberto De Zerbi will be hoping he has his day today!

I feel it's fair to say it's not been Gabriel Jesus' best season goal scoring-wise.

Due to injury and inconsistency, Jesus has found it hard to break into the side in the striker position. He has been deployed as a left-winger recently and is there today.

Jesus has only scored one goal in his last eight Premier League matches, and only four all season.

The Brazilian will be desperate to get back amongst the goals, is tonight the night he does that?

It feels like just yesterday Ben White was in a Brighton shirt.

Well, today he is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance for Arsenal, against his former side.

Time really does fly, doesn't it? White has been a brilliant bit of business for Arsenal, he's one of the reasons their defensive record is so good.

I bet he would love a clean sheet to mark the big occasion.

Roberto De Zerbi is not afraid to make changes when he feels the side needs it.

He's certainly done that today, making five in total. I am surprised Joao Pedro drops to the bench, but Danny Welbeck does do well in De Zerbi's system.

Can the former England international fire in another cracker like he did last week?

I bet he would love to against his former team.

Roberto De Zerbi has not held back, he's made five changes to the side that played out a stalemate with Brentford in midweek.

Julio Enciso, Jakub Moder, Danny Welbeck, Tariq Lamptey, and Pervis Estupinan all come in.

Joao Pedro is one of the casualties after returning from injury against the Bees, he's on the bench.

Bukayo Saka isn't just involved, he starts.

Declan Rice, Jorginho, and Gabriel Jesus also all come into the side as Mikel Arteta makes four changes.

Arsenal are back at full strength again.

Arsenal have arrived on the south coast.

A certain Bukayo Saka has stepped off the team bus, which suggests he will be involved in some way.

Game faces are active, they have a job to do.

This is a question that has been asked all week.

Bukayo Saka had featured in 104 out of a possible 105 league matches before Arsenal's win over Luton, in which he sat out.

Many thought that was to give him a much-needed rest, but maybe it was more serious than that.

Mikel Arteta has said Saka faces a late fitness test, and he was not seen in training on Friday.

Will the England international be fit to make the squad? We will find out in just over five minutes.

Please tell me everybody read that sub-heading in the voice of Gandalf. Well, that's what I did as I wrote it.

The saying reigns very true with Arsenal at the moment, they have conceded just one goal and faced only five shots on target in their last five away league matches.

The Gunners have the best defensive record in the league, having only conceded 24 goals this season.

The impressive record is largely down to the partnership between William Saliba and Gabriel. They have been rocks at the back,

Will they grab another clean sheet today?

The top three spots in this title race are forever interchanging.

After Manchester City's win earlier, Arsenal now sit third in the Premier League but can go a point clear at the summit with a win over Brighton today, as Liverpool don't play until tomorrow.

Arsenal haven't lost in the league since the turn of the year, and the way they are playing at the moment, you feel that run could continue at the Amex.

However, Brighton are no slouch. Roberto De Zerbi's side pushed Liverpool to their limits at Anfield last week, and are known for getting in Arsenal's way.

Today's class is a mouth-watering prospect, let's hope it delivers.

Oh would you look at that, I'm back again, I hope you all didn't miss me for too long.

So, now that Manchester City have done their job in this enthralling title race, it's now the turn of Arsenal.

The Gunners can retake top spot from Liverpool with a win over Brighton, but it won't be straightforward, the Seagulls are fighting for Europe.

Mikel Arteta's side barely got out of second gear against Luton in midweek, but you'd expect them to be pushed hard by Roberto De Zerbi's side today.

I can't wait for this one, can you? This title race has me well and truly gripped, and it's not letting me go.

Can Arsenal respond to City? Let's find out.
