Arsenal XI vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news
Arsenal travel to the Amex Stadium tonight aiming to secure a third consecutive victory and break the Premier League record for goals scored from corners.
The Gunners have moved into a clinical phase of their title charge, maintaining a five-point lead following a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Chelsea. Manager Mikel Arteta oversaw a performance that equalled the record for most corner goals in a season (16), and his side now looks to take the outright record against a Brighton side that has kept only one clean sheet in their last 10 games. Notably, Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five visits to the Amex since the 2020-21 campaign.
Arsenal Team News
Mikel Arteta manages a squad balancing recent knocks with the return of key senior figures. Notably, Declan Rice is a doubt after a knock in the Chelsea match, but he is expected to train and push for a start. Consequently, if Rice or Martin Ødegaard are not fit, Hale End graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly could earn a start in midfield. Viktor Gyökeres arrives in excellent form, having been involved in six goals in his last seven away games (5 goals, 1 assist). Notably, Arsenal have become far more prolific on the road in 2026, averaging 2.3 goals per game compared to 1.2 earlier in the season.
David Raya will start in goal behind a defensive unit led by William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. In midfield, Martin Zubimendi is expected to continue his partnership with Rice if fit. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will provide the width, with Gyökeres poised to lead the attack. Notably, 65% of the time Arsenal have opened the scoring this season, the breakthrough has come via a set-piece or penalty.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup
Arsenal Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Raya; Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Havertz, Zubimendi, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli
