    Arsenal v Chelsea (14:30 GMT)

    Arsenal's 100% winning start to the league season ended last week with defeat at Manchester United and Gunners boss Joe Montemurro is hoping to bounce straight back this afternoon.

    "The reaction has been magnificent. The whole approach and attitude has been fantastic," he said.

    "We know where we're at, we know that we let ourselves down, we know that in the scope of the league, it's going to be very tight, and every point is going to be very, very important.

    "But, look we're still on track. We've only lost one game in the league. [Now we need to] show the true colours of who we are."

    It's a superb result for the Seagulls, especially in the absence of self-isolating head coach Hope Powell and her assistant Amy Merricks.

    The club's regional talent centre technical director, Perry Northeast, who took charge today, looks absolutely delighted with that away performance.

  12. 'My job is not to make people happy' - Hayespublished at 14:15 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2020

    Arsenal v Chelsea (14:30 GMT)

    Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was asked this week about the challenge of keeping all of her world-class forwards happy within the squad, with the likes of Sam Kerr only on the bench today. Here's what she had to say:

    “It’s a problem I’d rather have than not have. There’s a reason why the top teams in Europe get to the latter stages and compete when you have gruelling schedules. You need a squad if you want to go deep in to things.

    "My job is not to make people happy. The truth is that, if I had a happy bench, I’d be really worried about it, so I’m happy that people are unhappy about [not] playing as long as they make the contributions when called upon.”

    This result, if it stays like this, would move Brighton four points clear of West Ham in the table.
