Last weekend Arsenal stumbled in the Premier League title race. It’s not the first time that the Gunners have come up short when the pressure is on in recent seasons, but while a defeat to Aston Villa is far from terminal, it did see them lose ground to their title-chasing rivals. Arsenal have now dropped to second place following that 1-0 defeat at Villa Park, but because they play before Liverpool in this gameweek, a victory over Brighton would see the Gunners reclaim the top spot, at least temporarily.
However, Brighton will be a tricky opponent to face even at the Emirates Stadium. The Seagulls have lost just one of their last seven games in the Premier League and topped their Europa League table in midweek thanks to a last-gasp victory over Marseille. The seagulls will also be buoyed by their most recent visit to the red side of North London. During that match, Brighton dismantled Arsenal in a 0-3 win that all but confirmed Man City as champions and ended the Gunner’s title dreams.
Arsenal will be looking for some revenge as they seek to go a step further this season, and you can watch an Arsenal vs Brighton live stream from anywhere with our guide down below.
Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.
How to watch Arsenal vs Brighton live stream wherever you are
The Arsenal vs Brighton live stream will be shown on many different channels around the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.
Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is a good choice.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling TV or another service and watch the game.
