US EditionPremier League 2025-26: Returning Havertz will boost Arsenal’s misfiring attack, says Mikel Arteta
- Mikel Arteta opened his pre-match remarks by saying he was 'hacked off' by Arsenal's draw with Brighton last season ahead of Arsenal v Brighton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, December 27 with a 3pm kick-off.
- Declan Rice's dismissal stemmed from a second yellow for nudging the ball away from Joël Veltman at Emirates Stadium last August, leaving Arsenal with 10 men in a 1-1 draw amid six red cards that season.
- Top of the Fair Play league, Arsenal have received 22 yellow cards and no reds in 17 games, with Mikel Arteta saying, 'I think the rules are different now...'
- Ahead of Saturday's match, Arteta said 'I think it will be a matter of days, not weeks. Let's see in the next steps how he responds to that', regarding Kai Havertz's return, while Gabriel Magalhaes hasn't trained yet, and Gabriel Martinelli is struggling with a knock.
- Brighton’s squad news shows Danny Welbeck fit and Jan Paul van Hecke available, while match officials’ earlier clampdown on timewasting shaped last season’s red card decisions.
