Arsenal will tonight begin 2023 top of the Premier League whatever happens as they travel to face Brighton in the final Premier League match of the year.
The Gunners had to come from behind to beat West Ham in their first match back after the World Cup, but did just that and they sit five points clear of Manchester City.
It won’t be an easy task on New Year’s Eve though, against a Brighton side who knocked them out of the Carabao Cup earlier this season and find themselves well in the hunt for European football.
