Arsenal maintains a perfect record across all competitions in the 2026-27 season, securing seven consecutive victories, including a 2-0 Premier League win against Sunderland and a 4-2 EFL Cup triumph over Ipswich Town. However, Mikel Arteta's squad faces significant injury concerns ahead of their upcoming Premier League fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion. Several first-team players, including David Raya and Declan Rice, missed the Ipswich match. Piero Hincapie, Jurrien Timber, Ben White, and Cristhian Mosquera are all major or minor doubts for the Brighton game due to various muscle and groin issues. William Saliba remains a long-term absentee, recovering from a back injury aggravated during the World Cup, with his return not expected until November 21 against Newcastle United. Brighton recently achieved a 3-2 comeback victory against Manchester United in the EFL Cup. Arsenal has no players suspended for the match.
