Brighton and Hove Albion starting XI: Sanchez; Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Burn, Bernardo; Bissouma, Propper; Mac Allister, Gross, Jahanbakhsh.

Brighton and Hove Albion substitutes: Steele, White, Connolly, Maupay, Trossard, Welbeck, March, Zeqiri, Molumby.

Arsenal starting XI: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Tierney; Elneny, Xhaka; Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli; Aubameyang.

Arsenal substitutes: Runarsson, Mustafi, Cedric, Maitland-Niles, Ceballos, Willock, Pepe, Nketiah, Lacazette.

Brighton go with Robert Sanchez in goal again, behind three centre backs – Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk and Dan Burn.

Joel Veltman and Bernardo line up as the wing backs, with Arsenal target Yves Bissouma partnering Davy Propper in the middle of the park.

It looks like Alireza Jahanbakhsh will play up front, with support coming from Pascal Gross and Alexis Mac Allister behind him.

That means ex-Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck and Gunners enemy Neal Maupay are on the bench, joining Luke Steele, Ben White, Aaron Connolly, Leandro Trossard, Solly March, Andi Zeqiri and Jayson Molumby.

Arsenal have the same defence as the 3-1 win against Chelsea, as Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, Pablo Mari and Kieran Tierney start ahead of goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka continue in midfield, whilst Emile Smith Rowe keeps his place in the team, working with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli going forward.

Alexandre Lacazette dropping out is the only change from Saturday’s win, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang restored to the lineup.

Runar Runarsson, Shkodran Mustafi, Cedric Soares, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Dani Ceballos, Joe Willock, Nicolas Pepe and Eddie Nketiah join Lacazette on the bench.
