Referee: Anthony Taylor
- Arsenal are unbeaten in their last seven home matches against Brighton in all competitions (W6 D1) and have conceded just one goal in those meetings.
- Chris Hughton’s Seagulls can become the first south-coast side to win a PL away match against Arsenal, in the 33rd such meeting (P32 W0 D7 L25).
- Arsenal have only lost their final home league match of the season in one of the last 21 campaigns, in 2010/11, and have won the last six in a row.
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one PL goal away from becoming the sixth Arsenal player to score 20 in a campaign, and the first since Alexis Sanchez in 2016/17.
Koscielny unlikely to play
Expecting to see some rotation here, but still should be strong enough to see off Brighton. Leno, Monreal, Mkhi, Iwobi and Torreira will probably come back into the team; Aubameyang missed Wolves so he'll probably play over Laca to give him a breather.
