Arsenal will face off against Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium this Saturday evening as they look to secure a good result on their travels in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a solid 2-0 win over Luton Town recently which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Mikel Arteta will stick with his favoured 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a few tweaks to his first XI for this game. Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will get a chance to impress from the start of this contest.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Brighton
Defence
David Raya will operate in between the sticks for the North London club after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. William Saliba will function alongside Gabriel at the centre of Arsenal’s defence as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Ben White will operate as the right-back while Jakub Kiwior gets a chance to shine on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Arsenal could line up with a midfield comprised of Declan Rice, Jorginho and Martin Odegaard as they focus on dominating possession and creating a few decent chances in the opponent’s half.
Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will try to give a good account of himself on the left flank while Bukayo Saka, who is a major doubt for this game, gets a chance to catch the eye as the right-sided wide player.
Kai Havertz will lead the line for the North London club in the final third. He has to find a way to threaten the opponent’s goal this weekend after shooting blanks versus Luton recently.
Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages of the game if Arsenal are in need of a goal by then.
