As Arsenal aims to ascend to the summit of the Premier League standings this Saturday, they are inching towards having a fully fit roster.
The Gunners are preparing to journey to Brighton, where they could potentially seize the third position by the time the match kicks off, although the rankings might experience further fluctuations.
With Liverpool slated to face Manchester United on Sunday evening, Mikel Arteta’s squad has an opportunity to apply pressure on their title contenders.
Following their midweek encounter against Luton Town, the team is anticipated to be rejuvenated and prepared for the challenge that awaits them on the southern coast.
Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton side recently encountered difficulties in securing a victory, only managing a 0-0 draw against Brentford in their most recent outing.
Despite this setback, their home record remains formidable, with just one league defeat throughout the season and only two losses across all competitions.
Arsenal will need to manage their squad astutely, especially with a pivotal Champions League showdown against Bayern Munich looming ahead.
Arteta can derive reassurance from having rested a core group of players during the triumph over Luton Town.
However, all attention is focused on Bukayo Saka as he nears a return to action, with his potential inclusion poised to provide a significant uplift to the team.
