It was confirmed on Tuesday that Arsenal's clash with Manchester City, which was scheduled for Wednesday, has been postponed to guard against the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the postponement, Brighton released a statement on their official website saying they expected the game against Arsenal at the Amex Stadium to take place this weekend.

"The risk is considered extremely low and Saturday’s match remains scheduled to go ahead with the self-isolation period for those players ending tomorrow," a section of the statement read.
