Arsenal vs Brighton Premier League | Gameweek 3

On Saturday noon, Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion will play for the top spot in the Premier League table at the Emirates Stadium, with both teams aiming to maintain their 100% records.

After winning their previous match against Wolves, both sides have won their first two games of the season. However, the Gunners have already established themselves as front-runners in the title fight.

Mikel Arteta has a difficult schedule in the first few weeks, starting with Tottenham and Manchester City, so getting three more points at home is practically a must right now.

However, Brighton has also gotten off to a blazing start under new manager Fabian Hurzeler.

They had already defeated Everton 3-0 and Manchester United last weekend, and they had also easily defeated Crawley in midweek Carabao Cup action.

Arsenal vs Brighton Team News

Arsenal Team News

Gabriel Jesus was absent from the Villa Park matchday squad and is anticipated to miss Saturday's match as well, despite pre-game claims that he had a groin injury during training. It is not thought to be a major injury, though.

However, Jesus is added to Arsenal's list of injured players for the Seagulls match. Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) are also out. Mikel Merino, who was finally confirmed to be acquired from Real Sociedad this week after weeks of discussions, may make his debut there.

Trossard has every reason to anticipate a start against his previous club over the underperforming Gabriel Martinelli, but the Spaniard is probably going to be benched for the time being as goal scorer Partey has probably done enough to reclaim his position between Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

Brighton Team News

Due to a late challenge by Jay Williams, Matt O'Riley, Brighton's shiny new toy, suffered an ankle injury that forced him off the field nine minutes into his debut against Crawley.

After suffering an ankle injury in midweek, Evan Ferguson returned to the bench. However, Welbeck, a former player for Arsenal, is expected to score in three straight Premier League games for the first time in ten years, so it is unlikely that the 19-year-old would replace him.

After the game, Hurzeler expressed his instant optimism regarding O'Riley's diagnosis. As a result, the former Celtic player will undoubtedly join Solly March (knee) on the Emirates sidelines, and it will be necessary to evaluate Brajan Gruda and Mats Wieffer's knocks.
