Brighton manager Graham Potter has told supporters to stop telling his players to shoot ahead of their clash with Arsenal next Saturday. It comes as the Seagulls are without a win in their last seven Premier League games.
The clash could be crucial in the Gunners ’ top four push towards the back end of the season, with Crystal Palace still to play beforehand. Mikel Arteta has guided his side to fifth so far, level on points with Tottenham in fourth but with two games in hand on the Lilywhites.
With Manchester United, Chelsea, West Ham and Spurs all to come before the end of the season, it could be a difficult run in for that final Champions League place. Those games only put further emphasis on winning matches against those sides lower in the table.
