Arsenal
Aside from long-term groin absentee Emile Smith Rowe, Arsenal's only other injury concern at the minute is Takehiro Tomiyasu, who came off with a muscular problem against FC Zurich in the Europa League and was not involved against Chelsea.
The severity of the 23-year-old's problem has not been officially disclosed, but his absence should allow Cedric Soares to make his first start of the season at right-back as Arteta rotates before the weekend's Premier League contest with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Matt Turner has recovered from a groin injury and should take the place of Aaron Ramsdale in goal, while Kieran Tierney, Rob Holding, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira and Eddie Nketiah should also be in line for starts.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Turner; Cedric, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Elneny, Lokonga; Marquinhos, Vieira, Nelson; Nketiah
Brighton & Hove Albion
As for the Seagulls, Jakub Moder is the sole injury concern for De Zerbi at present as the midfielder remains on the long road to recovery from his knee injury, which could keep him sidelined until the end of February.
Changes can be expected from the visitors too, with Jason Steele, Tariq Lamptey and Billy Gilmour hoping to earn opportunities to impress, but De Zerbi will still look to put a team out capable of producing a shock result at the Emirates.
One man who could also benefit from some rotation is former Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck, who faces his old employers after scoring 32 goals in 126 games for the Gunners, but he is yet to find the back of the net this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Steele; Veltman, Dunk, Colwill; Lamptey, Caicedo, Gilmour, Mitoma; March, Welbeck, Trossard
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
