Is Brighton v Arsenal on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League fixture

Arsenal continue their Premier League title challenge as the Gunners head to Brighton.

Mikel Arteta’s side moved five points clear of Manchester City as they defeated Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates.

The title rivals will be kicking off at the same time as City host Nottingham Forest at the Etihad.

Brighton earned a 2-1 win over Forest on Sunday, to relieve some of the pressure on Fabian Hurzeler’s shoulders.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Brighton v Arsenal?

The Premier League fixture kicks off at 7:30pm GMT on Wednesday 4 March.

How can I watch it?

It will be shown on TNT Sports 2 and Discovery+.

What is the team news?

Yasin Ayari could be available again for Brighton but Fabian Hurzeler has no new injury concerns to report after naming an unchanged team for the win against Nottingham Forest.

Mikel Arteta said he was hopeful that Declan Rice would be available after the midfielder asked to come off against Chelsea. Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard face late checks.

Possible line-ups

Brighton XI: Verbruggen; Wieffer, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu; Hinshelwood, Milner, Gross; Gomez, Welbeck, Mitoma.
