Fixture: Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:00 (UK time)

Arsenal have officially announced their starting side and substitutes to take on Brighton at the Emirates Stadium in a Premier League fixture this afternoon.

The Gunners rested a number of key players for their midweek trip to Belarus to play BATE Borisov in the Europa League and boss Arsene Wenger will hope the freshness can help see off the Seagulls.




Wenger is still without a number of players due to injury, with Danny Welbeck, Calum Chambers, Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla all out.

The Frenchman goes with Petr Cech between the sticks, while at the back he picks Rob Holding, Shkodran Mustafi and Nacho Monreal.

Further up the pitch, Wenger has Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka, while Alex Iwobi and Alexis Sanchez play behind striker Alexandre Lacazette.

If the Arsenal boss needs to make changes at any point during the 90 minutes he has a number of options on his bench, including Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere.
