Some comments from the Managers ahead of the clash
Mikel Arteta had some praises for Brighton’s manager Roberto de Zerbi’s influence with his team, having lost only one game at home in the league.
“They are fighting with the top clubs and have done a magnificent job. His football makes life very difficult for the opponent and they play attractive football.
“We have to select our best line-up. We have to train and get ready to win again. Brighton will be tough, they play well, but we have to be better than them.” – Arteta, Reuters
Roberto de Zerbi: “Arteta is a great manager. I have big respect for his job and his style is clear. They always play with great intensity and with courage. I think they will be aggressive, and they have a clear style with and without the ball.
In terms of our target, we want to improve our place in the table. Last season is history, this season is different.I think we have the quality to reach the European position, but there are a lot of teams from Fulham to Manchester United who could reach the position.
