Brighton – Arsenal: Arsenal looks to build off a big win when it pays a Tuesday visit to Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium (start time 1pm ET on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com).
The Gunners beat Chelsea on Saturday to snap a seven-match Premier League winless run, while Brighton will be barely more than 48 hours away from a match with West Ham.

Arsenal is still waiting on Thomas Partey, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was fit for the bench versus Chelsea. Willian, David Luiz, and Gabriel Magalhaes missed the Chelsea match due to COVID-19 protocols, and Gabriel is certainly out while self-isolating.

Prediction
Arsenal normally would be preferred due to reputation and squad depth but both have taken a hit this season. That said, the lack of rest will ding the Seagulls quite a bit in a close match.Β Brighton 1-2 Arsenal.
