Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi had branded Arsenal as 'fantastic', as Mikel Arteta's side prepare to visit the Amex Stadium looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
The Gunners have enjoyed a remarkable season to date, currently boasting a five-point lead over reigning champions Manchester City at the Premier League's summit. Having returned to top-flight action on Boxing Day, Arsenal came from a goal behind to beat West Ham United and claim their 15th win of the campaign.
Such an advantage could stretch to eight points courtesy of a win against the Seagulls this evening, though Arteta will be aware of the hosts' capabilities after they dumped Arsenal out of the Carabao Cup in November following a 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
