Arsenal will lock horns with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates on Wednesday night, hoping to pick up a positive result on their home turf. The visitors will be coming into the match on the back of a 3-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, whereas the Gunners recorded a crucial 1-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta will probably opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation with several changes from the last game as Eddie Nketiah looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.
4-2-3-1 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Brighton
Defence
Matt Turner will operate in between the sticks for the upcoming home encounter. The American shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Wednesday.
Gabriel Magalhaes will form the centre-half partnership with Rob Holding at the heart of Arsenal’s backline.
Kieran Tierney is a guaranteed starter at the left-back position, whereas Cedric Soares might fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The duo would be looking to stretch the opposition’s backline and create meaningful chances for the frontmen.
Midfield
Mohamed Elneny and Albert Sambi Lokonga will fulfil the holding midfield positions, with the former occupying a more defensive role. Fabio Vieira will slot into the attacking midfield role.
Vieira will be accompanied by Marquinhos and Reiss Nelson on either side, playing on the left and right wing, respectively.
Attack
Eddie Nketiah will lead the line for the home team against Brighton on Wednesday. The 23-year-old striker will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net when he faces off against the Brighton defence that has conceded eight goals in their last five league matches.
Gabriel Jesus will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he might be called upon in the latter stages of the game if needed.
