These teams: Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli are surprise omissions from Arsenal’s starting line-up, with Mikel Arteta calling on Jorginho and former Brighton player Leandro Trossard to replace them as they drop to the bench. Declan Rice replaces Jurrien Timber, who is suspended, meaning we can expect to see Thomas Partey start at right-back.
Fabian Hurzeler makes three changes from the team that drew with Aston Villa last time out. Pervis Estupinan starts in place of Lewis Dunk, who is not in the matchday squad. The Ecuadorian will start at left-back, while Igor Julio moves to center-back. Elsewhere in Brighton’s back four, Joel Veltman replaces Tariq Lamptey, while Matt O’Riley replaces Julio Enciso in midfield.

First news from the team
Arsenal right-back Jurrien Timber is out due to suspension, and with Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu sidelined with knee injuries, Thomas Partey looks likely to replace him. One of Declan Rice or Kai Havertz will likely return to the team after missing Arsenal’s win over Brentford. Bukayo Saka remains out with a thigh injury, while less-spotted Raheem Sterling is also unavailable due to injury.
For Brighton, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Danny Welbeck, Evan Ferguson, Mats Wieffer and Jack Hinshelwood all remain absent, but Adam Webster has been passed over after recovering from a thigh injury and Pervis Estupinan could return after missing out his team’s last match due to illness. .
