Unai Emery not taking anything for granted after Arsenal beat Valencia

Follow latest live coverage as Arsenal host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.

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.

An emotional day for outgoing Huddersfield owner Dean Hoyle with the news of his sale of the club confirmed this week.

He'll be maintaining a minority stake in the club, but this will mark the final home game of his tenure of owner. And it has been quite the tenure, taking the club into the Premier League for the first time.

He'll be looking on proudly today from the posh seats.

The home fans chant Dean Hoyle's name.

Chelsea 0-0 Watford, 7 minutes

A relatively quiet start at Stamford Bridge, with a bit of an end of season feel to this fixture.
