Arsenal welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, hoping to secure all three points in their race for the title. In their previous match, the Gunners recorded an impressive 2-0 victory over Newcastle United, and it is crucial for them to avoid any further losses going forward so we can expect them to grab another win here.
Mikel Arteta will opt for a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a single change to the starting XI for this upcoming contest. Oleksandr Zinchenko was injured in the last fixture, so Kieran Tierney would look to replace him in the backline.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted XI Vs Brighton
Defence
Aaron Ramsdale will continue to feature in goal for Arteta’s team after keeping a clean sheet in his last league appearance. Gabriel is expected to form a defensive partnership with Jakub Kiwior at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they hope to defend their penalty box well throughout the game.
Ben White will fill in as the right-back, while Kieran Tierney hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. They would be eager to make a difference for Arsenal in the wide areas.
Rob Holding will provide cover for the defensive spots from the bench.
Midfield
Arteta will name a midfield three of Granit Xhaka, Jorginho and Martin Odegaard as they try to move the ball well at the centre of the park and orchestrate some clear-cut chances to win this home encounter.
Thomas Partey will be named on the bench as he awaits his opportunity to make an impact as a second-half substitute if required.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will try to put his pace to good use on the left flank, while Bukayo Saka hopes to weave his magic from the right.
Gabriel Jesus will lead the line for the North London club in the final third. He has to find a way to cause some problems for the opposition defenders this weekend.
Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if the Gunners need a goal by then.
