Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Brighton & Hove Albion today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion
The crowd are a little restless here. Clearly, that tempo of the start, needs to return. Ideally too, a goal.
Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Saka is down. It looks like a Hinshelwood's left elbow has just caught the winger as they both readied themselves to challenge for the ball. It looked accidental. We restart with Brighton.

Mitoma flashes one across Raya's goal! An Arsenal head has actually lofted it back into the area and Mitoma volleys it just wry of the target! Fantastic touch from Minteh in the formative move, it must be said.

Saka continues his industry on the right. Mitoma tracks back and actually looks to foul him just outside the box. Cavanagh didn't see that and the Japanese has got away with one.

Joao Pedro takes on and initially beats Saliba on the left side. Great feet there from the Brazilian, yet his French opponent shows excellent defensive nous to snuff out the danger in recovery. That said, in the next phase, Brighton have a corner on the right after continued pressure.

Brighton are back on the ball. Trossard isn't too pleased after appealing for a foul against Ayari as he pressed a long ball. The Gunners have stepped off the gas, compared to earlier exploits.

Arsenal have failed to score a first half goal in a home Premier League match just once across their last ten outings at the Emirates Stadium. They need to make their pressure count if they're to keep this fine record going.
