Brighton and Hove Albion substitutes: Steele, Igor Julio, Dahoud, Joao Pedro, Moder, Welbeck, Baleba, Buonanotte, Hinshelwood.

Arsenal return to Premier League action this afternoon as they host Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners drew with PSV Eindhoven in midweek following a defeat at Aston Villa last weekend, so a return to winning ways would be welcomed here.

David Raya continues in goal for Arsenal with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes as the centre backs ahead of him.

Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko feature as the full backs today, with Declan Rice in holding midfield.

Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz feature ahead of Rice in midweek with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the flanks.

Gabriel Jesus leads the line for Arsenal, meaning Eddie Nketiah is only on the bench again.

Aaron Ramsdale, Jakub Kiwior, Cedric Soares, Reuell Walters, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe and Leandro Trossard join Nketian on the bench.

Brighton have been something of a bogey side for Arsenal in recent times and they go with Bart Verbruggen in goal.

Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul van Hecke are the centre backs with Joel Veltman and James Milner in the full back positions.

It looks to be a midfield three for Brighton today with Pascal Gross and Adam Lallana joining Billy Gilmour in the engine room.
Evan Ferguson starts in the Seagulls attack with Simon Adingra and Kaoru Mitoma offering support from the flanks.

Former Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is on the bench, joining Jason Steele, Igor Julio, Mahmoud Dahoud, Joao Pedro, Jakub Moder, Carlos Baleba, Facundo Buonanotte and Jack Hinshelwood.
