TEXT FORM: Turner, Tierney, Gabriel, Holding, Cedric, Elneny, Lokonga, Nelson, Vieira, Nelson, Nketiah

FORMATION: 4-2-3-1

GOALKEEPING:

Matt Turner has been getting chances in the non Premier League matches and so he will likely be in between the goal posts against Brighton.

DEFENCE:

Mikel Arteta will likely use Holding and Gabriel as the centre backs for the day while Cedric Soares & Kieran Tierney will be used as fullbacks.

CENTRAL MIDFIELD:

Mohamed Elneny is believed to be back in training and so he could make his return against Brighton, and he will likely be paired with Sambi Lokonga.

ATTACKING MIDFIELD:

Marquinhos and Reiss Nelson will definitely be Arsenal’s wingers for Wednesday’s game against Brighton while Vieira is used as a central attacking midfielder.

STRIKING:

All eyes will be on Eddie Nketiah as he will once again get another chance to showcase his talent and he will hopefully try to impress Mikel Arteta.
