Arsenal were scheduled to travel to Brighton on Sunday, having beaten them 1–0 at home back in October. However, the fixture was postponed shortly before kick-off due to a waterlogged pitch.
The Gunners are already set to play their rearranged match against Leicester in April, after that game was postponed because of their involvement in the Champions League. A new date for the trip to Brighton will be announced in due course.
