Arsenal have surrendered momentum in the race for the Premier League title but can still win it providing Pep Guardiola's Manchester City take their eye off the ball not once, but twice.
Almost every Gunners fan will surely have their eye on City's trip to Everton on Sunday afternoon, due to kick-off just hours before Arsenal welcome Brighton to the Emirates. The red half of north London will be dreaming that the blue half of Merseyside can do them quite the favour.
In the meantime, all the Arsenal players can do is of course keep their focus entirely on the task at hand against the Seagulls, a side that have had plenty of joy against Sunday's hosts in recent years.
Whether it be last season's 2-1 win on Arsenal's own patch or dumping them out of this term's Carabao Cup, also at the Emirates, Roberto De Zerbi's side will certainly not fear the task that awaits them.
With that in mind, Mirror Football has identified some of the main headlines around Arsenal on Sunday, May 14.
Arteta warns his players
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has insisted his players are free to know the outcome of City's clash against the Toffees but must be ready to capitalise on any potential slip-up.
The Spaniard explained: “For sure, before we go on the pitch we know the result and everybody will know it because it will spread out like this. Will we be watching it? Probably not.
"We have to focus on our preparation and we’ve been doing that for the last ten or 15 games and nothing’s changed.
"You keep an eye on what’s happening, you have to have information but the demands we put on ourselves, we can only control the things that we can control."

Willock opens up on Arsenal exit pain
Joe Willock has discussed how it felt to bid farewell to Arsenal in 2021 after being on the Gunners' books since he was a child.
The attacking midfielder has admitted he did not feel "valued" during the tail-end of his time at the Emirates in a recent interview with The Telegraph.
"We had loads of conversations on the phone that summer," the 23-year-old explained. "I wasn't valued at Arsenal, that became clear. When I had a meeting with them, it was obvious they wanted me to go. Yeah, it hurt.
"I would probably have drifted for another year had I stayed. I’d been there since I was four-and-a-half years old. I'd given my life to Arsenal.
"At that meeting, it just felt like my time was up. I didn't feel valued anymore and that was it, I was going to sign for Newcastle after that."

De Zerbi comments on Trossard reunion
Leandro Trossard left Brighton to join Arsenal under a cloud in January, following a well-documented fall-out with Seagulls boss De Zerbi.
However, the Brighton manager has confirmed he harbours no ill feelings towards the Belgian who is gearing up for his first game against his old side since the switch.
"Trossard is a fantastic player. He was a fantastic player when he played for us and he still is a fantastic player," De Zerbi told reporters on Friday.
"Now we have other players. I am proud of my players and I’m proud of my squad. I only want to speak about my players and don’t want to speak about players from other teams."
