Brighton Coach Roberto De Zerbi has identified a standout Arsenal player causing him constant concern – a singular talent distinct from the likes of Saka and Martinelli. This player, when in possession, induces anxiety among opposing defenders, establishing himself as the primary source of worry for Brighton in the upcoming clash.
Despite Brighton’s recent 1-0 victory over Marseille, with Joao Pedro securing the win, midfielder Billy Gilmour is already shifting his focus to the imminent encounter with Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday. Gilmour, reveling in his current excellent form, expressed eagerness to advance further in the competition after topping their Europa League group.
In an interview with TNT Sports following the Marseille triumph, Gilmour emphasized the team’s excitement over securing three points while swiftly redirecting attention to the upcoming challenge against Arsenal. Acknowledging Arsenal’s strengthened lineup with additions like Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, Gilmour remains optimistic about replicating success against the formidable opponents.
Under Coach Roberto De Zerbi’s guidance, Gilmour finds joy and looks forward to maintaining his current form, expressing a keen desire to contribute significantly on the field. He emphasizes the collective effort of the team, acknowledging challenges faced in some previous results.
The victory over Marseille not only secures Brighton’s spot in the Europa League’s last 16 but also sets a March 2024 date for their next knockout stage tie following the draw scheduled for February 23. Brighton’s clear ambition extends beyond the Europa League, aiming to maintain a high standard in the Premier League, showcasing resilience and determination to succeed on multiple fronts.
