Mikel Arteta: Arsenal must not repeat last year’s damaging Brighton dismissal

The Gunners could be boosted by the return of Kai Havertz on Saturday.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is preparing his side to host the Seagulls this weekend. 

Mikel Arteta hopes history does not repeat itself when Arsenal face Brighton after Declan Rice’s red card in last year’s fixture left him “very p***** off”.

Arsenal host Brighton at the Emirates on Saturday bidding to keep their Premier League title charge on track, with Manchester City breathing down their necks.
