Arsenal will bid to continue their recent purple patch as they take on Brighton in the Carabao Cup fourth round this week.
Mikel Arteta’s men are four points clear of Bournemouth at the top of the Premier League table after they extended their unbeaten run to 10 games in all competitions with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the weekend.
The Gunners were high on confidence despite a nervy end to the game and will back themselves to get the better of Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton, who slumped to a 4-2 defeat to Manchester United in a rollercoaster fixture last time out.
Arsenal host Brighton at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday 29 October, with kick off at 7.45pm GMT.
Viewers in the UK can watch the game on Sky Sports+ or follow the live stream on Sky Go, with coverage beginning at 7.45pm. If you’re not a Sky customer, you can grab a NOWTV Day Pass here to watch without a subscription.
Arsenal’s Gabriel was fit to play all 90 minutes on Sunday despite picking up a knock in their previous game, but all three of Declan Rice, William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori had to be substituted against Crystal Palace and are doubts for Wednesday’s fixture.
Long-term absentees Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus, along with captain Martin Odegaard, remain on the sidelines. Piero Hincapie earned his first Premier League minutes on Sunday after injury disrupted the start of his season and could be in line for a full debut here.
Brighton missed Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman and Brajan Gruda in their loss at the weekend and Wednesday night may come too soon for the trio. But Diego Gomez - who scored four goals in the Seagulls’ 6-0 win over Barnsley in the third round - should be fit to start after coming off the bench against Manchester United. Solly March, Jack Hinshelwood and Adam Webster remain out of action.
Arsenal XI: Kepa, White, Mosquera, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly, Eze, Norgaard, Merino, Nwaneri, Gyokeres, Trossard
