Arsenal faces what is billed as their trickiest game of the season against Brighton. Manager Mikel Arteta has defensive concerns, with William Saliba out long-term and five defenders missing the League Cup win over Ipswich Town. However, the team is expected to be near full strength for the Premier League fixture, with Jurrien Timber and Bruno Guimaraes set for key roles. The Gunners aim to secure their fifth consecutive Premier League victory. Predicted starters include David Raya, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Christos Tzolis, as Arsenal seeks to maintain its strong start.
