- Gunners can top Premier League table with victory after resting players in PSV draw
- Seagulls topped their Europa League group with win over Marseille on Thursday
Two teams fresh from winning their groups in UEFA competition meet on Sunday when Arsenal host Brighton looking to go top of the Premier League.
The Gunners rested key personnel for their 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday, having already secured their last-16 place in the Champions League before the final group stage matchday.
Roberto De Zerbi's Seagulls had a more draining Europa League encounter with Marseille but Joao Pedro's late strike ensured the south coast side will avoid the knockout round play-off when the competition resumes in 2024.

Arsenal vs Brighton score prediction
Arsenal will be boosted by their greater period of rest, with manager Arteta able to give a number of key players time off. However, he will remain wary of the threat Sunday's visitors pose, given Brighton have bested the Gunners regularly in their recent meetings.
The Seagulls capitalised on Arsenal's tired form at the end of last season to run out 3-0 winners at the Emirates in May, but their own fatigue and injury issues may hinder them against what will be a refreshed home side.
Brighton are yet to keep a Premier League clean sheet this season and that trend won't end here, with Arsenal favourites to claim all three points.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Brighton
