Arsenal commenced 2025 with a commendable 3-1 away victory over Brentford, overturning an early deficit to secure the three points. This triumph extended the Gunners' unbeaten run to 12 matches, solidifying their position in second place on the Premier League table with 39 points, six points adrift of leaders Liverpool. As they prepare for the second of nine(!) fixtures this January, Mikel Arteta's squad faces a congested schedule exacerbated by the absences of key players: Bukayo Saka and Ben White are sidelined due to injuries, while Jurrien Timber is set to miss the upcoming match against Brighton & Hove Albion owing to suspension for accumulated yellow cards. On the other hand, with six goals in his last four matches in all competitions, can we say we’re finally witnessing the Second Coming of Gabriel Jesus?
Brighton & Hove Albion currently occupy 10th place in the Premier League standings with 27 points, a position reflective of their season characterised by a league-high nine draws. One such stalemate occurred in the reverse fixture in August, where a contentious moment led to Declan Rice receiving a second yellow from referee Chris Kavanagh. As the Seagulls prepare to host Arsenal, they are also contending with injuries to key players, including former Gunner Danny Welbeck, which could impact their attacking options. Arsenal will need to navigate these challenges astutely to maintain their pursuit of the league summit.
The new year started well. Let's keep it going and make the second half of the season one to remember, together.

UTA HAPPY NEW YEAR
