Latest Brighton vs Arsenal team information
The one negative point in Arsenal's midweek win was the yellow card that suspended Jurrien Timber, leaving the team without a real right-back with Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu still recovering from injuries. Unless Arteta makes a surprise change, otherwise Thomas Partey will continue at right-back, leaving Rice or Kai Havertz (who missed the previous game through illness) to return to midfield.
With Bukayo Saka (hamstring) and Raheem Sterling (knee) also out, Arteta handed a first start to 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri against Brentford, but there could be changes.
While Arsenal have struggled at the back, Brighton boss Hurzeler is hopeful Pervis Estupinan will be fit to face Arsenal after missing the previous game through illness. Adam Webster is a slim chance of returning from a hamstring injury, while Jack Hinshelwood (knee) is also close to recovery. However, Danny Welbeck, Mats Wieffer, Evan Ferguson, James Milner and Ferdi Kadioglu will be absent.
With the January transfer window opening, the £11m signing of Diego Gomez from Inter Miami has been confirmed, but the midfielder will not be involved in this weekend's game.

Latest Brighton vs Arsenal football review
Arsenal finished 2024 in fine form, picking up 85 points in the Premier League, more than any other side in the calendar year. Mikel Arteta's side continued their impressive form at the start of the year with a 3-1 win over Brentford to secure their first three points of 2025. Despite a slight setback when Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring early on, Gabriel Jesus equalised for Arsenal, before goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli sealed a convincing win.
Despite Arsenal's impressive winning run, which includes three straight Premier League victories, they are still six points behind Liverpool at the top of the table, although Jurgen Klopp's side have a game in hand. This will be Arsenal's first game outside London since November, when they beat Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League. The club's recent travels have largely been to the capital, with a run of nine consecutive games there the longest in their history.
On the other side of the pitch, Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton & Hove Albion also ended 2024 with a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. Despite some brilliant moments, including Tariq Lamptey’s equaliser, the team have struggled for wins, having gone seven games without a win. Brighton are currently in mid-table, five points behind Newcastle in the Europa League places.
Hurzeler is in danger of becoming the first manager since 1999 to draw 10 of his first 20 Premier League games. Arsenal have won both of their recent visits to the Amex, scoring at least three goals in each.
