Arsenal will today face Brighton & Hove Albion at the Falmers Stadium and the gunners will come into this game well knowing that they need this win because their next Premier League opponent is against league leaders Liverpool. Unai Emery will cautiously select a lineup today with thoughts about their next match.

PREDICTED ARSENAL LINEUP TO FACE BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION

Leno, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Sokratis, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Goalkeeping:

Bernd Leno has been impressive this season and will definitely be in the starting eleven that plays against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Defence:

Unai Emery has used three backs in the last few weeks but it hasn’t worked out in some matches so he will be reverting back to using four at the back.

Central Midfield:

Unai Emery has learnt a lesson that using Granit Xhaka as a centre back is a bad idea, so the Swiss international will probably be paired with Lucas Torreira in the central midfield.

Attacking Midfield:

Unai Emery will probably rest Matteo Guendouzi because the youngster has played many matches. Arsenal’s attacking trio will be Iwobi, Ozil and Aubameyang.

Striking:

Alexandre Lacazette is very eager to score goals for the North Londoners and Unai Emery will probably need him to be at his best today to score against Brighton & Hove Albion who have given big teams a hard time.
