The Gunners need a response after defeat to Crystal Palace a week ago but will be boosted by Tottenham's loss to Bournemouth on Saturday as well as their own victory over Valencia in the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday. They got the perfect start as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored from the spot after Nacho Monreal was fouled in the box.
Solly March's fine run down the left sees him dash into the box and Granit Xhaka tugs him back to concede a penalty. Glenn Murray calmly slots home to draw Brighton level.
With a three-point gap between themselves and Tottenham in fourth, who hold a superior goal difference, their route to the Champions League looks to be purely down to winning the Europa League.
We'll have all the latest throughout the afternoon here.

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United (Scott McTominay, 8 minutes)
An opener from Manchester United, and it is Scott McTominay!
McTominay has a little more licence to push forward with Nemanja Matic also included, and he pushes on to the edge of the box left of centre here. Quick footwork takes him beyond Terence Kongolo and opens space for a left-footed shot, which is well hit but straight at Jonas Lössl.
The Huddersfield keeper does not cover himself in glory at all, a half-hearted, almost perfunctory attempt to save a ball at his side with squirms in off his thigh. He has to do better with that.
Chelsea 0-0 Watford, 8 minutes
Top save from Kepa Arrizabalaga!
Troy Deeney looks to have surely beaten the Spaniard with a header from a Jose Holebas cross but Kepa somehow manages to turn the ball on to the post in spectacular fashion.
Chelsea 0-0 Watford, 9 minutes
That's a big blow for Chelsea.
N'Golo Kante has over-exerted himself and won't be able to continue.
On comes Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 14 minutes
Huddersfield have failed to readjust since going behind, most of their energy gone with a pride-salvaging triumph now even more unlikely.
Marcus Rashford wins a free kick in another good position...
Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 15 minutes
Which Juan Mata fires into the top of the wall. Wasteful.
Chelsea 0-0 Watford, 15 minutes
Watford have built and built and are comfortably on top at Stamford Bridge.
Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 18 minutes
Vital intervention from Terence Kongolo, just about getting a toe in as Juan Mata cushioned a pass beyond him in Marcus Rashford's direction.
Manchester United then win back-to-back corners. Huddersfield look vulnerable...
Chelsea 0-0 Watford, 19 minutes
Watford still in the ascendancy, David Luiz in particular hugely troubled by Troy Deeney through these first 20 minutes.
Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 22 minutes
Huddersfield attack for the first time but it is all a little higgledy-piggledy, never fully in control as they work the ball forwards and look for openings in the final third, Aaron Mooy ending the movement with a fittingly messy challenge on Marcus Rashford after letting the ball bounce out of control.
