Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta anticipates the involvement of Gabriel Martinelli in Sunday’s Premier League encounter against Brighton & Hove Albion. The Gunners aim to reclaim the top spot at the Emirates Stadium, but their position might be challenged if Liverpool prevails over Manchester United in the weekend’s late fixture.
Although Martinelli played 69 minutes in Arsenal’s recent 1-0 loss to Aston Villa, he was absent in the midweek clash against PSV Eindhoven. Arteta addressed concerns about Martinelli’s well-being during a pre-match press conference, confidently assuring Arsenal supporters of his availability.
“He’s feeling good. He’ll be in contention,” remarked Arteta when asked about Martinelli’s condition.

Arteta also spoke for the first time since being cleared of misconduct by an independent committee regarding comments on refereeing standards in Arsenal’s defeat to Newcastle United. He expressed satisfaction with the process, emphasizing the need to draw a line and focus on constructive learning from the experience.
Regarding the upcoming match against Brighton, Arteta acknowledged the challenge posed by Roberto De Zerbi, who guided Brighton to the Europa League knockout stages. De Zerbi, known for his outspoken views on English referees, recently led Brighton to a 1-0 victory over Marseille. Arteta emphasized the importance of moving forward and learning from such experiences in the highly competitive managerial landscape.
