Arsenal vs Brighton team news

Arsenal will be without William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli but Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori are fit after being forced off in Sunday’s 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.

Gabriel Magalhaes shook off a knock to play the full 90 minutes at the weekend, though captain Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus all remained out. Bukayo Saka is available despite struggling with illness last week.

Arteta is set to rotate heavily again as he did at Port Vale in round three, with Deadline Day signing Piero Hincapie in line for a full debut in addition to chances for the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Mikel Merino, Christian Norgaard and Max Dowman.

Brighton are set to be without without Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman and Brajan Gruda once again. James Milner will also miss out after picking up knock in the loss to Manchester United.

Adam Webster, Solly March and Jack Hinshelwood are all long-term absentees for the Seagulls.

Arsenal vs Brighton prediction

It may not always be easy on the eye, but Arsenal are about as efficient as it gets right now.

Set-piece masters who have still conceded only three goals all season and just one from open play, they are grinding out wins domestically and taking advantage of crisis-stricken Liverpool’s repeated slip-ups.

It will be intriguing to see if a presumably heavily-rotated team can produce a similar performance as Arteta takes advantage of his new-found depth, with Brighton capable of beating anyone on their day despite an inconsistent start to the season under Fabian Hurzeler.

Arsenal to win, 2-0.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

Both league games between these two teams last season were drawn 1-1, with Rice controversially sent off at the Emirates and Nwaneri scoring on the south coast.

They last met in the Carabao Cup in November 2022, when Arsenal were stunned 3-1 at home in the third round.
