**Brighton, UK –** Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is urging his team to overcome their inconsistency and finally win a major trophy after two seasons of near-misses in the Premier League title race. Currently six points behind Liverpool (with a game in hand), Arsenal face a crucial match against Brighton at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday at 12:30 GMT.

Arteta acknowledged Arsenal’s strong performance last season, breaking several records despite ultimately falling short. He believes the difference between success and failure lies in small details and a need for greater consistency. “We just have to flip that coin to the other side,” he stated.

The Gunners will be without several key players, including injured winger Bukayo Saka (out until March) and Jurrien Timber (one-match ban). Arteta remains unsure about strengthening the squad during the January transfer window, emphasizing the focus on the current players.

Brighton, meanwhile, will be without Danny Welbeck and Evan Ferguson due to injury. Adam Webster and Jack Hinshelwood are expected to return, while Pervis Estupinan’s participation is uncertain.

Arsenal’s predicted lineup features David Raya in goal and a mix of established and promising players, including the returning Kai Havertz. Brighton’s lineup includes several key players. Historically, Arsenal has dominated home matches against Brighton, winning three of their last four meetings at the AMEX. However, Brighton have secured victories in three of their last seven encounters against Arsenal, all at the Emirates Stadium. The match promises a significant challenge for Arsenal in their ambitious title quest.
