Arsenal hit the road for the first time in March as they travel to the South Coast to take on Brighton on Wednesday night.
The Gunners overcame London rivals Chelsea with a 2-1 win last time out. William Saliba headed his side in front through a corner, but a Piero Hincapié own goal pegged them back just before the break. However, Jurrien Timber won it when he headed past Robert Sanchez from another set piece to seal the three points.
Brighton have recently brought an end to a poor run of form and have won their last two games. Their previous outing saw them defeat Nottingham Forest 2-1 to increase the gap between themselves and the relegation zone.
Wednesday's trip to the Amex will be another tough test for Mikel Arteta's side in their challenge for the Premier League title while the Seagulls will be looking to continue their recent resurgence in form.
Here's our preview of Arsenal's trip to face Brighton.

Brighton team news
Fabian Hürzeler could be forced to make a change in defence as Mats Wieffer could not play the full game against Nottingham Forest, meaning Joel Veltman could come into the right back position in his place.
Yasin Ayari is close to making his return from a shoulder issue, but the matchup with Arsenal could come too soon for him to come back to the squad while Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas remain long-term absentees.
Premier League record-breaker James Milner started in Sunday's win over Forest, but he will likely drop to the bench for Carlos Baleba.
Predicted Brighton lineup vs Arsenal: Verbruggen; Veltman, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu; Gross, Baleba; Gomez, Hinshelwood, Mitoma; Welbeck
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta opted to field the same lineup that defeated Tottenham against Chelsea, but he could make at least one change for the trip to the Amex.
Leandro Trossard's performance on the left wing was relatively flat and that could see Gabriel Martinelli replace him in the starting lineup on the South Coast.
Declan Rice is a fitness concern as he was withdrawn with a slight issue in the win over the Blues, but he should recover in time to start once again tomorrow.
Max Dowman could return to the bench while Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz are wait-and-sees, but Ben White won't be available against his former side.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Brighton: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapié; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyökeres, Martinelli
Brighton vs Arsenal score prediction
Brighton have always been a tough opponent for Arsenal, especially in title races (that 3-0 defeat at the Emirates is ingrained in my mind) and tomorrow's meeting between the two sides will be no exception.
The Seagulls' return to form has come at the worst time for Arteta's side, but the Spaniard will still be confident he can get one over on Hürzeler, having already done so twice this season.
However, the Gunners will be frustrated tomorrow night and they will struggle to get the better of their hosts, just as they did a matter of weeks ago against Brentford and Wolves. This contest will be tight and will almost certainly end level.
