Arsenal will welcome Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure a victory at home in the Premier League. The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw away at PSV Eindhoven recently, so they would be eager to return to winning ways this weekend.
Mikel Arteta will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a whole host of changes to his first XI for this game. Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and David Raya will all get a chance to play from the start of this contest in North London.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Brighton
Defence
David Raya will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners after being rested in midweek. William Saliba will resume his defensive partnership with Gabriel at the centre of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Ben White will function as the right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to get forward and make a difference for Arsenal from the wide areas.
Jakub Kiwior will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Leandro Trossard, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard will make up Arteta’s midfield as they focus on dominating the game at the centre of the park. Both Trossard and Odegaard will have to carry most of the creative burden for the Gunners in the final third.
Jorginho will have to settle for a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli could get a chance to impress on the left flank if he can recover in time from his illness. Bukayo Saka would try to catch the eye on the other side as the right-winger.
Gabriel Jesus will spearhead the North London club’s attack up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net versus the Seagulls this weekend.
Eddie Nketiah will drop to the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if required.
