Brighton vs Arsenal: Gunners face major travel disruption ahead of Brighton clash

Stephen Oladehinde 14:34 - 06.04.2024

Arsenal fans are facing significant travel disruption just hours before their team's crucial trip to Brighton, as a landslide in the Hassocks/Burgess Hill area has resulted in the closure of some train lines between Haywards Heath and Brighton.

This unfortunate situation is set to severely impact Gunners supporters travelling to the South Coast for the 5.30 pm kick-off at the Amex.

Despite the travel chaos, Arsenal heads into the game with the opportunity to claim the top spot in the Premier League table with a win, ahead of Liverpool's clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
