DAZN (opens in new tab) subscribers can watch every single Premier League game in 2021/22 – and it gets better. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription (opens in new tab) for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. Arsenal will have to make do without Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey, while Takehiro Tomiyasu is still a doubt. Arsenal did create chances after the break, but they were unable to find the net and conceded a third when Wilfried Zaha converted a penalty. Brighton are only three points adrift of 10th, but a top-half finish is looking more and more unlikely.

"We knew there was a sense of urgency because you play against Liverpool, who were a great team at the time," Henry told Sky Sports' Greatest Game. "You know if you don't go out and perform, they are going to punish you. Then, as he advanced towards goal, his clever drag of the ball to his left duped Carragher and left him with only Dudek to beat. And three defeats in a week would pile the pressure on Wenger's side. Just six days earlier, Arsenal had been dreaming of becoming only the second English side to record a magnificent Treble, following Manchester United's success in 1998-99. The last thing he needed was his fellow Frenchman, Gerard Houllier, coming to visit with the Merseyside outfit. A large part of that was owed to Thierry Henry for ripping apart nearly every opposition defence.

ARSENAL left-back Nuno Tavares has caused debate between the two Gunners legends.

Arsenal boss Arteta insisted he will help Tavares through the tough period. It was always going to be a tough game against Palace." “I think Saka could go to left-back and still do damage from the left, [Nicolas] Pepe back onto the right-hand side, [Gabriel] Martinelli on the left. I know that’s radical, but I’d rather see that than Xhaka there, who is going to get exposed, if you’re creating such a weakness in the team, then you’ve got to fill it. Keown says Tavares is too error-prone and cannot be picked for the visit of Brighton on Saturday afternoon. Play Saka there.”

It's certainly been a week to forget for Arsenal fans so far, but let's hope the mood changes this afternoon. Would have been huge just before half time, but they'll have to find some momentum from somewhere. Odegaard kept going till the end while Martinelli was good but really clutching at straws for positives there. It's Xhaka at left back for Arsenal by the look of things, Saka on the right, Smith Rowe in midfield, Martinelli on the left. GOAL! ARSENAL 0-1 BRIGHTON! TROSSARD His looping effort deflects off Mwepu and heads in. Eddie Nketiah misses a huge chance from a rebound on an Odegaard free kick. GOAL! ARSENAL 1-1 BRIGHTON! MARTINELLI GOAL!

VAR Disallows Arsenal Goal After Reviewing It For 3 Mins & 40 Secs ... (Sports Illustrated)

One of the Premier League's longest ever VAR reviews denied Gabriel Martinelli a goal as Arsenal lost at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

A heavily-deflected shot from Martin Odegaard pulled a goal back for the Gunners late on, but Brighton held on for three points. The reason it took so long was that multiple players had been in such close proximity that extra angles were required. Martinelli had originally flicked the ball on from a Bukayo Saka corner but when it was headed back to him by defender Gabriel, was his offside?

How the Gunners got on individually in their Premier League clash with Graham Potter's side at the Emirates.

Had a huge chance but managed to hit it off the underside of the crossbar. Did manage to pull one back with a deflected effort from distance though and kept trying till the end. His passing, while forward for the most part, was often inaccurate and the Gunners struggled to create through the middle as a result. Drifted infield where he could but couldn't support the attack and was shown up in his one-vs-one defending at times. Gabriel: Much better than on Monday night and came very close to a goal and arguably should have had an assist for Martinelli's goal that was ruled out. Ben White: Had occasions where he dawdled on the ball a touch but that was more to do the lack of movement in front of him.

Emirates Stadium, Premier League - Arsenal 1 (Odegaard 89') Brighton 2 (Trossard 29', Mwepu 67').

45+6' GOAL RULED OUT! Martinelli was in front of Gabriel when he headed the ball. Even before his fantastic game sealer, there was one particular magic period of play where he intercepted a pass, nutmegged Emile Smith Rowe then jumped over a challenge before delivering a perfect square ball to continue a counter-attack. Whether on the right flank or in the middle of the park his tough tackling and driving runs forward played a big part in Brighton seizing control of the game. It seems amazing at a high-tech stadium there was no angle from both sides of the goal which is surely something which will be in place for venues in the World Cup later this year. Sanchez was also obscuring Marc Cucurella's body from the television angle from the right of the play. He was close to the goal-line when Gabriel headed the ball from a yard behind at the back post, but clearly Robert Sanchez's foot was playing him on.

Arsenal's Mikel Arteta failed a tactical test vs. Brighton as Premier ... (ESPN)

Arsenal have shown they can overcome adversity, but Arteta needs a better answer for the dual loss of Tierney and Partey, one of his toughest tests.

"With all of the team available, we know how difficult the challenge that we have ahead," said Arteta. "With those two big injuries it makes the situation more complicated. The cushion Arsenal had in the top four race has gone and Arteta did not hide from the difficult moment they now find themselves in. He touched the ball just 21 times -- the fewest of any starter -- and attempted just eight passes. After Mwebu doubled the visitors lead with a superb goal featuring lovely link-up play between Trossard and Moises Caicedo, Odegaard hit the crossbar with a free-kick and substitute Eddie Nketiah achieved the same with the rebound. Gabriel hit the side-netting with a close-range header before Trossard's opener and Gabriel Martinelli had an equaliser disallowed on the stroke of halftime for offside. Albert Sambi Lokonga, in his first start since Jan. 23, was asked to anchor a three-man midfield, providing defensive cover while enabling Arsenal to play out from the back.

Read a full transcript of the manager's post-match press conference after our defeat against Brighton.

We have to give them something, and we didn’t give them anything in the first half and this is down to us. It’s not a problem of attitude, for me it was a problem of the approach and the courage that we showed to play and we didn’t have that purpose. After the game, when you lose, the decision that you made you have to write before the match, after it is too late. We were sloppy with the ball, we were second best again in a lot of situations, we didn’t show any purpose or build any momentum in the game, play with the right speed and transform the game that Brighton proposed today and with the first chance that they had, the only chance I think they had, they scored a goal and, again, we created a cold atmosphere, an atmosphere we weren’t comfortable with and when we tried to change it, it was too late. But you could see that in end the energy was already very different. The reaction that we wanted to show and everything that we talked about, we didn’t make it happen on the pitch.

Odegaard then picked the ball up moments later and fired into the top corner from 25-yards to get us back into the contest. We kept on coming as Saka's driven effort blazed over the bar, before there was to be further anguish for Mikel Arteta's side. A period of domination followed, but tenacious work from Brighton at the back kept the busy Smith Rowe and Odegaard at bay. We upped the tempo after falling behind as we looked to get back on level terms. As the half drew to a close, we fashioned our best moment. The 27-year-old forward only needed a touch to bend the ball past Aaron Ramsdale and into the top corner to give Graham Potter's side the advantage.

We played a game where you could not see the purpose or the intention of what the team was trying to do and like what can they do? The fans were here and they were exceptional, and you can see the moment we gave them something, what we tried. That was the feeling that we had. We didn’t have the purpose, I know them and we didn’t have that intention to attack and step in and provoke the situation that we want to provoke and we were looking at each other too many times instead of taking ownership and doing what we have to do. Especially because we thought that space was going to be there for Granit to use which it was, but we didn’t use it.

Arsenal 1-2 Brighton: Arteta to blame for abysmal defeat (Pain In The Arsenal)

Arsenal 1-2 Brighton: Mikel Arteta at fault for a tactical disaster as Gunners' Premier League top four ambitions suffer with abysmal defeat.

All the negative details of the match were worsened by his decision making: Sambi needed help in midfield, Xhaka suffers at left-back, and Lacazette provided nothing yet was kept on ahead of Martinelli. Having lost his best midfielder he opted to take his second best midfielder out of the middle of the park. It’s not the end of the world so long as they’re rectified. To allow these issues to continue to fester when they’re evidently at fault for a turgid performance is weak management. Not one person could watch the events unfolding on Saturday and see a successful formula. Just as he leaned on Granit Xhaka to be a left-back in the closing stages of last season, he opted once more to wander down that ill-fated role.
