Unai Emery expects Brighton to pose a similar physical challenge to Burnley as the Arsenal head coach aims for a St Stephen's Day victory at the AMEX Stadium. There were a number of flashpoints and Clarets boss Sean Dyche afterwards claimed that Arsenal players had dived during what proved to be a fairly hot-tempered afternoon. Arsenal boss Unai Emery expects the match at Brighton to be another feisty affair, like last season’s (Gareth Fuller/PA Images). The win was enough to take Arsenal level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea and Emery expects Brighton to offer a similar challenge to his players. They decide to do a line-up with physical players with a lot of crosses for the strikers for heading in our box.
