Arsenal 0-3 Brighton AS IT HAPPENED: Gunners' Premier League title hopes are all but OVER as Arteta's side are battered by brilliant Seagulls at the Emirates with Enciso, Undav and Estupinan netting

That's all folks!

Thanks for joining Sportsmail's coverage of the Premier League.

Have a wonderful evening, and be sure to check out the full report below.

Brighton claim a famous win!

Arsenal were a little unlucky with how the ball fell for Brighton's first two goals, but the visitors were the better side and thoroughly deserve their three points.

They did their defensive work well, and seemed the more alert side whenever they came forward.

The Gunners huffed and puffed and had a couple of moments, but they looked below their best and made some poor decisions in the final third.

Man City now needs just one win to secure the Premier League title.

And Estupinan makes it three!

Ramsdale makes a reasonable initial save after a shot from distance but doesn't parry it far enough away.

It falls into the path of Estupnian, who pounces to sore his first Premier League goal.

What an afternoon for the Seagulls.

That could be the game! And it could well be the title race.

Trossard's clearance is deflected into the path of Undav, who takes his time before chipping the ball neatly over Ramsdale.

The Arsenal defenders run after it, but they can't get that as the Seagulls deal a potentially crushing blow.

Brigthon have been excellent today and deserve their lead.

The goal scorer looks in trouble and will have to come off for the hosts.

He is replaced by Undav, and the Arsenal fans are not happy at what they're seeing as time wasting.

The Argentine winger has a go from distance and hits it just wide of the post.

That could have been the game.

Both sides make more changes as the impressive Ferguson is replaced by Buonaotte for Brighton and Arteta brings Smith Rowe on for Odegaard.

Excellent ball from Odegaard and Trossard is played into the box.

He's in a really good position, but his first time shot is straight at Steele, who catches the ball easily.

That's summed up Arsenal today, they've been in some excellent positions but the finishing has been poor.

What a start from the substitute!

He picks up the ball on the left of the box, gives himself a yard of space and fizzes a shot goal wards.

It never quite has the bend and flies inches wide, but the crowd are right behind their side now.

The hosts bring on Reiss Nelson and Thomas Partey as they look for a way back into the game.

A loss would all but end their title hopes as it would put City four points clear with a game in hand.

Brighton make a surprisingly aggressive change as Welbeck comes on for Gilmour. 

Enciso puts the visitors in front!

They've deserves that this afternoon, although Arsenal have been good since the break.

A slightly lucky goal there, as Brighton work the ball nicely into Estupinan on the left wing.

His initial cross is blocked next to him, but his second takes a fortunate bounce and falls perfectly for Enciso, who heads in a straightforward chance.

It looks like Kiwor hurt himself in the build up and was on the ground as the goal was scored, although he looks OK now.

We're off again at the Emirates as Arsenal chase a win that would just about keep them in the title race.

They kick off and it's an aggressive start already as all 10 outfield players sprint up the pitch.

The two sides go in level, and Arsenal will be wishing the whistle hadn't gone.

They enjoyed their best spell of the game in the few minutes before the break and were causing Brighton problems.

De Zerbi's men were the better side overall, though, as they enjoyed more of the ball and used it well to trouble the Gunners' fullbacks.

They're passing round the back was risky as ever and did hand the hosts a couple of opportunities, but Arsenal's passing was never crisp enough to really capitalise.

Brighton fail to clear their lines after an Arsenal corner as the hosts keep winning the ball after a series of failed blocks.

The ball eventually falls to Saka outside the box, who hits it well but ultimately wide of the post.

For all Brighton's dominance in this half, they're risky backline passing could yet cost them.

Odegaard gets another shot a way moments later but again he can't find the target from the left wing.

The teenaged forward has been excellent so far this afternoon.

He's shown real strength and awareness in a fascinating battle with Gabriel.

No real chances have fallen for him yet, but he's been  a real presence in this first half.

Brighton lose the ball around their own box and look in serious trouble as Arsenal converge.

They just can't find the right pass, though, and the visitors clear the danger easily in the end.

Arsenal's passing has been poor today.

It should be 1-0!

The Brighton wingers swap, and Mitoma beats White for pace as he sprints down the left wing.

He finds some space and whips in an excellent ball from Enciso, who blasts the ball over from close range.

An excellent chance for the visitors, and not a good omen for White at left back.

Again Arsenal win the ball in a good position and Trossard takes it into the box against his former side.

He hammers a shot from 12 yards but can't keep it down as it grazes the crossbar and flies behind.

The chance gets the Gunners going and they press Brighton at the back, but the Seagulls are expecting the pressure and launch the ball up to Enciso.

It comes to nothing, but Arsenal need to avoid being drawn in like that.

The visitors are pressing really well and have kept Arsenal quiet without causing them too many problems.

Arteta's side have hardly had any of the ball but are keeping their shape fairly well and shutting out Brighton's attacks.

They're ball retention has been poor, though, meaning even when they win the ball in dangerous areas they don't do much with it.

Arsenal win the ball in a forward area and get it forward to Odegaard just outside the box.

He plays it into Jesus, who gets a shot away from a tight angle on the right hand side.

Steele gets down well and makes a strong save with his legs.

The winger hasn't looked right since that challenge from Caicedo and will come off.

He is replaced by Trossard, who joined Arsenal from Brighton in January.

The Gunners captain finds himself in space outside the box, a not dissimilar position to the one he scored from against Newcastle last weekend.

He hits it hard and low but despite the crowd's vocal reaction it was always going wide.

Brighton have had most of the ball so far but the home side look good on the break.

Brigthon get in a bit of trouble but clear the ball well up to Enciso, who breaks on the left wing.

He works his way into some space with some clever feet and fires a shot at Ramsdale, who gets a hand up comfortably at his near post to knock it behind for a corner.

First chance of the game.

Both sides have lacked sharpness in the opening exchanges.

Brighton have regularly given the ball away, while both sides have made lazy challenges and failed to capitalise on mistakes.

Not what you expect from two of the top sides in the country. 

Caicedo looks for revenge on Martinelli with another heavy challenge.

It looks like a certain yellow, but again the ref lets it go.

At this rate it could be a feisty afternoon.

Saka wins the ball just outside the Brighton box and lays it off to Odegaard.

The captain is in an excellent shooting position, but opts to take another touch and the chance disappears.

An unusually timid decision from Odegaard. 

The winger jumps for a high ball against Mitoma and catches him in the face with an elbow.

It was accidental, but still surprising to see the Brazilian get away without a booking.

The Seagulls give away an unnecessary corner as the ball is crashed out of play as they pass around the back.

Brighton are keeping the  ball around the back and encouraging the press, but Arsenal have seen this plan before and are not biting.

We have a break in play after just 30 seconds.

The Gunners captain presses down the right wing and catches a ball square in the face as Brighton look to play an early switch.

He looks a bit shaken up will carry on.

We're underway in North London in what will be a huge game for the Gunners.

Brighton kick off first at the Emirates knowing that a win will put them up to sixth.

We're closing in on kick off now at the Emirates.

The Seagulls have a good record here but come up against a Arsenal side who showed real grit in their 2-0 win over Newcastle last week.

The Arsenal winger has been brilliant at times this season but has fallen short of his best in recent weeks.

Only Kevin De Bruyne has more Premier League assists this season.

The visitors are getting ready for kick off in North London.

They'll be keen to bounce back after a shock 5-1 loss to Everton in their last game.

Brighton's recent form has seen them lurch from excellent wins (6-0 over Wolves, 1-0 over Man United) to poor losses (5-1 to Everton, 3-1 to Forest).

Depending on which Seagulls turn up today, the Premier League title race could be all but over this afternoon.

Manchester City go four points clear of Arsenal - having played the same number of games. They swat aside Sean Dyche's battling, but ultimately lacking in quality, side. 

The last time City lost a game was February 5. It's been some run, and it would be no surprise if they win every game from now until the very end of the season. Nobody needs any explanation as to what that would mean. 

Report below.

Pascal Gross is not surprised to see Leandro Trossard shining at Arsenal – but warned his former team-mate there will be no room for emotion or sentiment when Brighton visit the Emirates on Sunday.

Trossard spent three and a half years on the South Coast before joining Arsenal in January for £21million.

The Belgian forward has been a crucial part of their title push over recent months, racking up one goal and eight assists in 17 Premier League appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Dying embers of the game at Goodison. Click below to follow along with that briefly!

Pascal Gross is discussing breakfast and baked beans and bakeries and Wolfies fish and chip shop near Hove station when a lightbulb flickers inside the mind of team-mate and compatriot, Deniz Undav.

‘If we made a German restaurant here, we’d be multi-millionaires,’ Undav says. ‘Trust me.’

The striker has found plenty to savour since arriving on the South Coast last summer from Germany, via Tony Bloom’s other club, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium; the pursuit of ‘perfection’ under Roberto De Zerbi. The potent blend of work and play among the squad. The unlikely charge which has Brighton dreaming of Europe. There remains, however, one key missing ingredient.

Arsenal make one change to the side that beat Newcastle last time out. Tierney is in for the injured Zinchenko, who will miss the remainder of the season.

Meanwhile, De Zerbi makes four changes. Colwill is back in for Webster, Gilmour for Undav, Encisco for Buonanotte and Ferguson for Welbeck. 

Arsenal (433): Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney; Jorginho, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

Brighton (4231): Steele; Gross, Colwill, Dunk, Estupinan; Caicedo, Mac Allister, Gilmour; Encisco, Mitoma, Ferguson

Mikel Arteta will dig for victory as Arsenal and Manchester City prepare to battle it out at opposite ends of the country in Sunday's Premier League D-Day.

Leaders City go to Arteta’s former Everton home, while the Arsenal manager prepares his side for the visit of Brighton.

One slip for either side could decide the destination of the Premier League title and Arteta is keen to let people know Arsenal will be hammering away at City every step of the way.

Bad news at Goodison Park for those of an Arsenal, Everton or perhaps Manchester United persuasion. Manchester City have just made it 3-0. Ilkay Gundogan with a sumptuous free-kick, adding to his brilliant inventive effort in the first period. That is game over. 

Contrasting fortunes for both sides last weekend. Arsenal got their title bid back on track with victory at Newcastle, courtesy of a wonderful Martin Odegaard strike and a Fabian Schar own goal.

Brighton, meanwhile, well... Brighton. Off the back of a last-gasp win at home to Manchester United, the last thing anybody was expecting was a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Everton.

They were picked apart on the break with consummate ease. They should be able to avoid such today, with Arsenal almost certain to dominate the ball.

The Italian's voice was extremely hoarse in his post-match media duties after the Everton defeat. The players had clearly been treated to what can be called a De Zerbi special. Other synonyms are available.

 'Arsenal are a great team. They deserve to fight for the Premier League.

'I don't know who will win the Premier League but we have big respect for them. I think they are improving in a lot of things this year.

'They play fantastic football but I have to be focused on my team and think only about them as we have some problems.

'The last part of the season is very important for us and the club. We are still disappointed by the last result but I think on Sunday it will be a difficult game and we will be ready to try and win.'

'That’s what we’re here for [title fight],' he said. 'It starts on Sunday again, there’s three games to go, this is the crucial one and right now we want to beat them and elevate our hopes and enthusiasm to keep going because everything is still to play for.'

On players losing confidence, and then regaining it: 'We, the coaches, have a responsibility to help them more, and the frustration comes with how we can help them more, and what we can do better to facilitate what they’re going to be confronted with at the weekend. Cutting out mistakes was a huge one and trying to anticipate why that was happening. Now we have done that, we can the results have come back again.'

Well, Arsenal can only take care of their own business. But as it stands, they will need a minor miracle over the next few weeks to wrestle the title from Manchester City's seemingly iron grip.

What will encourage Mikel Arteta and his staff enormously is how the side haven't simply rolled over after going four games without a win in April.

They faced Chelsea and then Newcastle after three draws and then that gut-punch loss at City, two potential banana skins. Barring a few hairy moments, they passed both tests.

Brighton, meanwhile, will be looking for a reaction today. They have won on their last two visits in all competitions to the Emirates, and making that three would have enormous ramifications at the top of the table.

Roberto De Zerbi, not the calmest individual at the best of times, was absolutely furious following his side's 5-1 defeat at home to Everton. He promised we'd see the 'true' Brighton this afternoon. We will find out in about an hour and a half.
