Brighton and Hove Albion v Arsenal: is the Premier League fixture being screened live, how to watch highlights

If you’re an Arsenal fan, take joy in the fact that despite the result of this Saturday’s game against Brighton and Hove Albion, the Gunners will be sitting atop the Premier League to end 2022. Currently five points clear of second placed Manchester City, the Gunners make the trip to Brighton’s Amex Stadium for their final game of the year on Saturday.

After a few years of turbulence on the Premier League table, Mikel Arteta and Arsenal have found their footing after seasons of teething problems. The result has seen the Gunners lead the league from almost the outset of the 2022-2023 season, with a run of form that includes wins over London rivals West Ham United and Chelsea in their last five games.

Brighton however have remained one of the surprise packages in recent Premier League history. Despite losing Graham Potter to Premier League rivals Chelsea earlier this season, the team are currently sitting in the top half of the Premier League table in seventh.

The team can also boast they hold a victory over Potter’s new club this season with 4-1 win. Another win for Arsenal will help solidify their status at the top of the Premier League table, and should results go their way could open up an eight point gap between first and second.

Even a draw would still provide breathing room between Arsenal and Manchester City, while a win for Brighton could see them lifted to sixth - one place above Liverpool. But will the game be screened live on TV or through streaming services? Londonworld has taken a look through at the options available (if any) to watch Arsenal’s away game against Brighton and Hove Albion.
