Brighton v Arsenal Line-ups: Arteta Names a Side Without Saliba! Mikel Arteta has made some significant changes to his starting XI as Arsenal take on Brighton at the Amex Stadium today. The Gunners boss has surprisingly left out young centre-back William Saliba from his team, opting instead for experienced duo Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe's Brighton have also made a few tweaks to their lineup, with Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister returning from injury to start against the Premier League leaders. The Seagulls will be looking to cause an upset against the Gunners, who are still reeling from last weekend's surprise defeat to Manchester City. For Arsenal, there is no place for Saliba in Arteta's team, with the 20-year-old France international dropping down to the bench. In his place, Holding starts alongside Tierney at centre-back, while William Ekong and Nuno Tavares continue their run of matches on either side of them. Up front, Alexandre Lacazette leads the line for Arsenal once again, flanked by Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe. Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka provide the midfield creativity, with Aaron Ramsdale starting in goal ahead of Bernd Leno. Brighton's lineup is more settled, with Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster forming a strong partnership at centre-back. Moises Caicedo starts alongside Mac Allister in midfield, while Leandro Trossard and Solly March lead the attack alongside star man Neal Maupay. The game gets underway at 4:30 pm GMT, and we'll have all the action from the Amex Stadium right here on OneFootball!#Eddie_Howe #Mikel_Arteta #Rob_Holding #Lewis_Dunk #Kieran_Tierney #William_Saliba #Alexis_Mac_Allister #Adam_Webster #Moises_Caicedo #Neal_Maupay
Rice Arteta Issues Pre-Brighton Fitness Update Mikel Arteta has provided a fitness update ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Brighton on Saturday. The Gunners are looking to bounce back from their 3-2 defeat at West Ham last weekend, and the manager will be relieved that several key players have made progress in their recovery from injuries. First-choice right-back Kieran Tierney was forced off the pitch after just 30 minutes against the Hammers due to a groin strain. Arteta confirmed on Thursday that Tierney is still undergoing treatment but should return to full training in the coming days. The Irish international's availability for the Brighton game remains uncertain at this stage. In more positive news, midfielder Granit Xhaka has shaken off his recent calf problem and will be available for selection against Graham Potter's side. Xhaka played 90 minutes in Arsenal's 2-1 win over Leicester City in the FA Cup quarterfinals earlier this month and is expected to start again on Saturday. However, there was less optimism surrounding midfielder Sambi Lodje, who suffered a hamstring injury during training last week. Arteta revealed that the youngster will miss at least two weeks' worth of action, ruling him out of the Brighton game as well as Arsenal's upcoming Europa League tie against PSV Eindhoven. As for the opposition, Graham Potter has a number of selection headaches of his own ahead of the trip to the Emirates Stadium. The Seagulls are without defender Lewis Dunk due to a knee problem, while midfielder Yves Bissouma is st...#Tottenham_Hotspur #West_Ham #Arsenal #Leicester_City #Emirates_Stadium #Brighton #Mikel_Arteta #Kieran_Tierney #Granit_Xhaka #Sambi_Lodje #Graham_Potter #Lewis_Dunk #Yves_Bissouma #PSV_Eindhoven
