Arsenal Expected to Edge Out Brighton in Tight Match
Arsenal is set to face Brighton at The American Express Community Stadium on Saturday, September 19. Brighton's team news is thin, with several key players injured or unavailable for selection. Malick Junior Yalcouyé and Maxim De Cuyper are expected to supply the ammunition through midfield, but Charalampos Kostoulas will lead the line.
Arsenal's only injury concern of note is the long-term absence of Saliba, with Mosquera and White both doubts. The team looks close to full strength, built around Bukayo Saka (3 goals, 13 shots), Kai Havertz (2 goals, 8 shots) and Declan Rice.
Arsenal have won all four league games so far for 12 points, while Brighton have already shipped four goals in one match at Chelsea. This reads as a stingy, low-event contest rather than the kind of shootout Brighton's home form has occasionally produced.
