Brighton v Arsenal

We’re back in Premier League action on Sunday when we take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.

Ahead of the game, tactical expert Michael Cox examines our opponents in more detail.

THE MANAGER

Chris Hughton has a habit of causing Arsenal problems, having taken both Norwich and Newcastle to wins over the Gunners in previous seasons. Hughton remains one of the most popular managers in England, and is excellent at organising his side in a solid defensive shape, usually in two banks of four.

FORMATION

Hughton always favours two banks of four, with the wide players providing a counter-attacking threat.
