Overview
- Kick-off is 15:00 GMT/10:00 ET at the Emirates, with no live TV in the UK due to the blackout and USA Network carrying the game in the United States.
- Arsenal start the day atop the Premier League on 39 points, though Manchester City’s early match could temporarily alter the table before this fixture.
- David Raya is expected back in goal, with multiple outlets tipping Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyökeres to spearhead the attack and Declan Rice, Martín Zubimendi and Martin Ødegaard to anchor midfield.
- Mikel Arteta says Kai Havertz has returned to full training and is only days from selection, while Gabriel Magalhaes remains in rehabilitation without group training; Piero Hincapié is a doubt and Ben White and Cristhian Mosquera are out.
- Brighton arrive winless in four league games but welcome captain Lewis Dunk back from suspension, as injuries and AFCON absences continue to limit their options.
