Goal Scorer:
Arsenal
Priority number one for Arteta and Arsenal in Eindhoven would have been to travel home without any fresh injury concerns, but the Gunners lost Mohamed Elneny to a hamstring problem in that European stalemate; the Egyptian should not be out for long, though.
Emile Smith Rowe also made a quicker-than-expected return from his knee problem during Tuesday's fixture, where Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli were not risked due to a foot concern and illness respectively.
However, there is nothing to suggest that the pair will not be involved on Sunday, where Arteta will make alterations in abundance, but Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf), Thomas Partey (thigh), Fabio Vieira (groin) and Jurrien Timber (knee) are guaranteed to miss out.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Brighton
As for Brighton, no serious concerns arose from their historic beating of Marseille on Thursday, although match-winner Pedro appeared a little worse for wear as he was taken off in injury time and will need a once-over ahead of the trip to North London.
Danny Welbeck will miss out on a reunion with his former employers, though, while Ansu Fati (thigh), Pervis Estupinan (thigh), Tariq Lamptey (thigh), Julio Enciso (knee) and Solly March (knee) remain in the treatment room too.
Adam Webster (knock) should be the first stricken player to exit the medical bay, but there are no guarantees that the defender will be fit to face Arsenal, where the fresh legs of Joel Veltman, Adam Lallana and Evan Ferguson ought to be utilised.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Milner; Baleba, Gross; Adingra, Lallana, Mitoma; Ferguson
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
