Saka, Trossard And Gyokeres To Start | 4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Brighton

Arsenal will welcome Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a win on penalties against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup recently, which should give them a lot of confidence going into this game.

Mikel Arteta will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a whole host of changes to his first team for this clash. Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyokeres could all play from the start of this game.

4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Brighton

Defence

David Raya will function in between the sticks for the Gunners after being rested in midweek. William Saliba will play alongside Piero Hincapie at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid at the back throughout the game.

Jurrien Timber will operate as the right-back, while Riccardo Calafiori looks to put in a solid performance on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will try to go forward and join in on the attack at every chance they can get.

Myles Lewis-Skelly will offer cover for the left-back position on the bench.

Midfield

Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard will make up Arteta’s midfield as they focus on establishing their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park. All three of them need to move the ball well if the Gunners are to create enough chances to win this contest.

Eberechi Eze and Christian Norgaard will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Leandro Trossard will try to impress as the left-winger, while Bukayo Saka looks to weave his magic from the right flank. Both of them would hope to get in behind the Brighton backline at every chance they can get.

Viktor Gyokeres will lead the charge for the Gunners down the middle. He would be keen on finding the back of the net versus the Seagulls after being rested in midweek.

Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if needed.
