Arsenal will be eyeing an eighth consecutive victory when they host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup fourth round tonight.

The Gunners are presently top of the Premier League with a four-point advantage, and manager Mikel Arteta is set to make several changes.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Kepa Arrizabalaga made his debut in the Carabao Cup third round against Port Vale, and he is expected to be reinstated in goal tonight.

There should be a complete overhaul of the defence from the 1-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace. Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie and Myles Lewis-Skelly are expected to start.

Similarly, Martin Zubimendi could be given a breather. We anticipate Christian Norgaard to start in the no.6 role. Declan Rice should continue in the no.8 position as Arteta may want extra mobility.

Ethan Nwaneri could come in for Eberechi Eze in the no.10 role tonight. In the final third, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard look likely to retain their places on the right and left wing respectively.

Gabriel Martinelli has already been ruled out with a muscle injury. Viktor Gyokeres could be rested on the back of a heavy workload. In that case, Mikel Merino is a frontrunner to lead the line.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brighton: Arrizabalaga; White, Mosquera, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly; Norgaard, Rice; Saka, Nwaneri, Trossard; Merino.
