Latest Brighton injury news as seven miss Arsenal with Solly March blow and Moises Caicedo plan

Brighton & Hove Albion travel down to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday looking to damage Arsenal's remaining hopes of winning the Premier League title.

The Seagulls, themselves, still have something to play for in the final month of the season, with European football for the first time in club history still on the cards. Roberto De Zerbi's men are currently eighth - two points behind Tottenham and Aston Villa - but have two games in hand.

Today's contest won't be an easy task and the Gunners can't afford any more dropped points. Before kick-off at 4:30pm, they could find themselves four points behind Manchester City - who travel to Everton in the earlier kick-off.

Mikel Arteta's men do have their own injury concerns to contend with, with Oleksandr Zinchenko and William Saliba major doubts for the clash. But Brighton make the 78-mile trip to the capital without a number of their players.

"For the last five games we won't have many players and we will have to organise step by step," De Zerbi explained.

"We are not in such good condition but we will decide on the squad tomorrow. Solly March, Adam Webster won't be available for Sunday, but Evan Ferguson is."

March was ruled out with a hamstring problem picked up in the loss to Everton. As for if he can play against this season: "Difficult question. Difficult to answer," he said. "I hope he can start the last two games [against Manchester City and Aston Villa].

"I want to understand if Joel Veltman can play. If he can't, I have to play another right-back." Brighton have already moved between Moises Caicedo and Pascal Gross as unorthodox defenders in recent weeks.

They are also without Veltman (hamstring), Jakub Moder (ACL), Adam Lallana (hamstring), Tariq Lamptey (knee), and Jeremy Sarmiento (metatarsal).
