Team News

Arsenal
Brighton
  • Gabriel Jesus has joined Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney in the treatment room at Arsenal.
  • Leandro Trossard could replace Gabriel Martinelli in the starting XI, following his scoring cameo at Aston Villa last weekend.
  • Mikel Merino could be in line for his first Arsenal appearance, though it is likely to come from the bench.
  • New signing Matt O'Riley was forced off through injury just nine minutes into his Brighton debut in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
  • Summer arrivals Brajan Gruda and Mats Wieffer also look set to miss out here.

Prediction

  • Arsenal made it two wins and two clean sheets in their first two Premier League matches, with a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa last weekend.
  • The Gunners won both league meetings with Brighton last season, without conceding a goal.
  • Brighton's dream start to life under new boss Fabian Hurzeler continued this week, with wins over Manchester United and Crawley Town making it three from three so far for the 31-year-old.
  • The home side, however, will be expected to inflict the Seagulls' first defeat of the campaign here.
