Arsenal host Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates today, looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Aston Villa last weekend that saw them relinquish their brief hold on the top spot in the Premier League table. The visitors sit 8th on 26 points, the host sit 2nd on 36 points. It will really be a match flooded with goals and this match might likely end in a draw. Mike arteta will be without some key players like Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Fabio Vieira for today’s match, all of whom are out for some periods of weeks.
Today Arsenal and Aston Villa have both won their matches, but Aston Villa has to be in third place after Liverpool drew with Manchester United in today's match too. This also makes Arsenal more profitable because they can immediately be at the top of the standings today with a distance of one point from Liverpool and Aston Villa. And it looks like these three teams will compete with each other this season until the end because their points are currently very close and almost the same as Liverpool and Aston Villa.
