Arsenal Set to Recall Saka, Trossard and Gyökeres for Brighton Visit

Arteta is expected to restore a first-choice attack after cup rotation, with finishing under scrutiny.

Overview

Arsenal host Brighton at the Emirates on Saturday, December 27, with kickoff listed at 3:00 p.m. GMT (10:00 a.m. ET).
Multiple outlets expect Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyökeres to start, with Declan Rice, Martín Zubimendi and Martin Ødegaard in midfield and David Raya back in goal.
Arsenal advanced past Crystal Palace on penalties in midweek after heavy rotation, with Raya, Gyökeres and Zubimendi unused and several regulars limited to late cameos.
Piero Hincapié is a doubt with a shoulder issue, Gabriel Martinelli is being monitored after a knock, and Kai Havertz has returned to training but is still building fitness.
Arsenal’s recent run features high chance creation but no open‑play goals across three matches, while Brighton arrive winless in December and sit ninth on 24 points.
