Arteta is set to rotate heavily again as he did at Port Vale in round three, with Deadline Day signing Piero Hincapie in line for a full debut in addition to chances for the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Mikel Merino, Christian Norgaard and Max Dowman.

Adam Webster, Solly March and Jack Hinshelwood are all long-term absentees for the Seagulls.

Arsenal vs Brighton prediction

It may not always be easy on the eye, but Arsenal are about as efficient as it gets right now.

Set-piece masters who have still conceded only three goals all season and just one from open play, they are grinding out wins domestically and taking advantage of crisis-stricken Liverpool’s repeated slip-ups.

It will be intriguing to see if a presumably heavily-rotated team can produce a similar performance as Arteta takes advantage of his new-found depth, with Brighton capable of beating anyone on their day despite an inconsistent start to the season under Fabian Hurzeler.
