Brighton v Arsenal team news: Saka starts

6 April 2024 362 comments

Skonto Rigga

Arsenal can go top of the Premier League with a win over Brighton and Hove Albion tonight.

Kick-off at the Amex is at 17:30 BST.

The headline team news from the south coast is the return to fitness of Bukayo Saka.

He is one of four players brought back into Mikel Arteta’s starting XI this evening.

Declan Rice, Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus, all rested in midweek, are also recalled.

Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe and Leandro Trossard drop to the bench, while Reiss Nelson misses out altogether.

Gabriel Martinelli is a substitute yet again, as is Jakub Kiwior.

Brighton head coach Roberto de Zerbi goes one better than his opposite number.

He makes five changes from the team he sent out at Brentford on Wednesday.

Tariq Lamptey, Pervis Estupinan, Julio Enciso, Jakub Moder and Danny Welbeck are all restored to the side.

They replace the benched Joel Veltman, Igor Julio, Facundo Buonanotte, Adam Lallana and Joao Pedro.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Verbruggen, Lamptey, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan, Gross, Baleba, Moder, Enciso, Adingra, Welbeck.

Subs: Steele, Igor, Pedro, Lallana, Barco, Fati, Veltman, Buonanotte, Peupion.

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Rice, Jorginho, Saka, Havertz, Jesus.

Subs: Ramsdale, Partey, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Nketiah, Kiwior, Tomiyasu, Trossard, Vieira.

Variance going back my way this week.

If Son scores a brace tomorrow I'm up on the Foden + Odegaard vs Havertz + Son decision. Crazy the swings that are possible.

    Thought they got that spot on tbh. It's what's to come. If they can go into the final day 2nd or 3rd then maybe they have a chance. Arteta can't handle the favourites tag.

      hmm just seen liverpool win every game when needed in recent seasons. 2 seasons they were neck and neck with city only dropped points vs spurs at home out of like 15 matches+ or so. and they have as good a squad now as they ever have and easier european matches with no fa cup

  Havertz sucks but he plays for a great team.
  
  Even Timo Wormhole could play well in this Arsenal team.
  
  I bet Riyan Brewster would be on 12 goals for 2024 Arsenal

Thank you Havertz, was very worried when Saka scored but a goal and an assist later soon to be followed by the 3 bonus points and I am very grateful.

      I'd argue it's tougher to find a good mid for DGW34 than a playable defender.
      
      People will end up with Eze/Sarabia type players. I'd much rather have Havertz + Ait Nouri than Saliba + Sarabia as an example.

        Fair enough for DGW34 but during the run in for team like mine which do not have FH anymore and WC35, it's a luxury switch

        Oh for sure. If you already have double Arsenal defense you don't sell one. It's more a question of if you have only 2 and want to buy a 3rd Arsenal player, I'd go Havertz over say White or Saliba.
