Mats Wieffer is also set to be fit after a fitness concern.

“Danny Welbeck will be back,” said Brighton boss Hurzeler ahead of the Arsenal game.

“Jan Paul should be back. The two suspended players will be back and Mats Wieffer is okay. We go day by day and follow the procedure, but he looks quite well. I think that he will also be available."

The return of key centre-backs Dunk and Van Hecke is a huge boost for Brighton.

Olivier Boscagli and Diego Coppola started against Sunderland and Fabian Hurzeler has said “there is a decision to make” over who starts against Arsenal.

But Dunk and Van Hecke seem certain to come back into ithe side.

Hurzeler said: “Definitely there's a decision to make, but I mentioned after the Sunderland game that it’s important to have a great selection of centre-backs because that brings competition and a good feeling going into this period where we have a lot of games, knowing that we can rely on Olivier (Boscagli) and Diego (Coppola).

“It's not only important for me, it's also important for them, that they proved they're ready as a team and as individuals.

Brighton lost 2-0 at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup in October and Hurzeler believes they can learn from that defeat ahead of their return to Emirates Stadium.

“You can learn from every game and that's our approach, to understand how they reacted to our change of formation and understand if it's necessary to change the formation again and understand where they might have problems,” he said. “There will be different players on the pitch.”
