Premier 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.
