<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal<\/a> are on the South Coast to take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium this afternoon.<\/p>\n The Gunners have made a faultless start to the new season having won all their games in all competition so far. A 4-2 win over Ipswich Town in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night came after a hard fought 2-0 win over Sunderland last weekend.<\/p>\n That victory saw Arsenal climb above Manchester City<\/a> to lead the Premier League<\/a> table on goal difference with both clubs sitting on 12 points from their four games. Arsenal will be looking to move three clear with a win today.<\/p>\n Mikel Arteta<\/a> has made nine changes from the side that started against Ipswich in midweek. No.1 goalkeeper David Raya replaces Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks while Riccardo Calafiori is recalled at left-back with Myles Lewis-Skelly making way.<\/p>\n Ezri Konsa comes in to partner Gabriel Magalhaes in defence meaning Marli Salmon drops out despite his excellent display on Wednesday. Jurrien Timber returns to start at right-back but Ben White is ruled out with a knock.<\/p>\n Bruno Guimaraes keeps his place in midfield after an excellent performance against Sunderland last weekend. Declan Rice<\/a> returns after being rested against Ipswich while Martin Odegaard captains the Gunners today. Max Dowman drops to the bench along with Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi.<\/p>\n Bukayo Saka<\/a> was given the night off in midweek but he\u2019s back to start on the right wing. Christos Tzolis is also recalled so Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke make way.<\/p>\n Viktor Gyokeres endured a torrid time against Ipswich Town so it\u2019s no surprise he drops out with Kai Havertz<\/a> recalled to lead the line up front.<\/p>\n As for Brighton, they\u2019re without captain Lewis Dunk so Luka Vuskovic starts alongside Pascal Struijk in defence.<\/p>\n Here are the confirmed line-ups:<\/p>\n Verbruggen; Kadioglu, Vuskovic, Struijk, Boscagli; Chema, Ayari; Gomez, Gross, De Cuyper; Kostoulas<\/p>\n Subs: Steele, Hadjam, Costinha, Svoboda, O\u2019Riley, Yalcouy\u00e9, Rutter, David, Osman<\/p>\n Raya; Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Saka, Odegaard, Tzolis; Havertz<\/p>\n Subs: Arrizabalaga, Hincapie, Eze, Gy\u00f6keres, Madueke, Merino, Zubimendi, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBrighton<\/h2>\n
