Arsenal team news and line-up predictions

Arteta has several tactical selections to consider following midweek cup action. 16-year-old playmaker Max Dowman pushed his claim for a Premier League debut after scoring twice in Tuesday’s 4–2 EFL Cup victory over Ipswich Town. Arteta confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Dowman’s performances on the pitch dictate his selection.

David Raya is expected to return in goal after Kepa Arrizabalaga started in midweek. In midfield, Bruno Guimarães is pushing for a start after netting in last week’s 2–0 win at Sunderland.

Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Guimarães, Ødegaard; Saka, Gyökeres, Eze.

Recent form and head-to-head record

Victory today would equal Arsenal’s 123-year-old club record for the best start to a campaign. Brighton enter the fixture following a 5–0 thrashing of Coventry City, though Fabian Hurzeler’s side dropped points against Leeds earlier this month.

The two managers clashed verbally after last season’s meeting at the Amex, but Arteta insisted on Friday that any friction remains entirely in the past.
