Why isn't Arsenal vs Brighton Premier League game live on TV in UK today?

Arsenal host Brighton in a big Premier League clash at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners can move back to the top of the table with a win, even if might only be until leaders Liverpool play Manchester United an Anfield later on Sunday.

Arsenal were knocked off top spot after their 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa last weekend and will be out to get their title bid back on track, knowing they can take advantage of another slip-up from Manchester City following their 2-2 with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

It promises to be a big afternoon in north London but fans in the UK will not be able to watch the game.
