Arsenal’s expected lineup against Brighton, including a last-minute decision on Bukayo Saka – Express.co.uk

Mikel Arteta will be hoping that his side can continue their good form against Brighton. Arsenal will be aiming to continue their title charge with a victory over Brighton.

Express Sport takes a look at how the Gunners may line up. Arteta has consistently favored Raya over Ramsdale this season and is unlikely to change that decision despite mounting pressure.

Brighton’s strong goal scoring record means Raya will need to be at his best to defend against players like Welbeck and Adingra. The potential unchanged backline includes White, Saliba, Gabriel, and Zinchenko with options from the bench provided by Tomiyasu and Kiwior.

Zinchenko’s attacking prowess could add creativity to the midfield if required. In the midfield, Odegaard, Rice, and Jorginho are likely to return following their rest.

Jorginho’s presence could be crucial in maintaining possession. Saka’s fitness remains uncertain with Arteta keeping his cards close to his chest.

Gabriel Jesus may start over Havertz, who was unused against the Hatters.
