Here is my Arsenal team to welcome Brighton tomorrow – Who would you choose?

After a week’s rest, Arsenal will be back in Premier League action at the Emirates on Sunday evening when Brighton comes to visit.

The Gunners have found their winning mojo back. After going winless in four games, Arsenal are on a run of two wins in two, picking up 3 points against Chelsea and Newcastle. But good form doesn’t guarantee a win; Arsenal will have to turn up to get a win over a troublesome Brighton.

Mikel Arteta would be hoping to get a good result to have a chance of winning the league if Manchester City slip. In their last meeting, the Gunners got a comfortable 4-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion at Amex Stadium, but that’s history. So what lineup could we see earn Arteta a double over the Seagulls?

Defence: Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal and continues his brilliant form. In front of Ramsdale, a defensive wall of Ben White, Jacob Kiwior, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Kieran Tierney (who comes in for the injured Oleksander Zinchenko) could be erected.

Midfield: Jorginho starts over Partey, no doubt, as Arsenal’s No. 6 after his five-star performances against Chelsea and Newcastle. Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard, who’ve regained their attacking charm, continue cooking for Arsenal’s attack as the No. 8s. Partey should be introduced early in the second half.

Attack: Trossard starting may be tempting, but I doubt he would start. A Saka-Jesus-Martinelli attack starts. As for Reiss-Nelson and Trossard, they should be introduced as game-changers if needed in the second half.

That’s my line up, what’s yours?

  1. Mine is the same as yours

    OT: Romano said Arsenal sent their scouts to watch Mohamed Simakan several times. I guess they’re prepared for Saliba’s or Holding’s departure and Trusty would likely be sold

    1. It could be Saliba…
      He is yet to agree any contract so most likely Arsenal will sell him in this summer…
      That is a big blow to Arsenal

      1. He’s been treated well. He was allowed to play in France after one of his parents passed away and he was one of our main CBs before he got injured

      2. How has Saliba been poorly treated, he is a young lad who lost one of his parents and the loan spell in France did wonders for him , football wise and personally wise. He was a regular for us before his injury so how has he been treated badly.

        1. Marty, relax my friend ! We brighter fans know very well that SALIBA has been treated sensibly and compassionately and we are seeing the reward for that this season , prior to his injury.

          We cannot expect ALL who post on JA to be as bright as us.

    2. My nerves will gives if I think anything more on this Saliba saga.

      Gai there is a powerful Center Back at Leverkusen , he’s 6’3″ tall, spots superior arial prowess, technical sound and have pace to burn, he’s bubbling just below the radar but worth looking at

  2. Ramsdale

    White – Jacob – Magalhaes – Tierney

    Jorginho – Xhaka

    Saka – Odegaard – Martinelli

    Tossard

    Tossard has to start in a game of this nature and with some old score to settle, he would be dreaming of going one better than his previously three assists.

    Please define your comment on poorly treaty
    Just wanted to get clarity on what.you mean

    Thanks

  4. Some fans really are unnaturally timid and scared. The four on this thread, above my post, who think Saliba will not sign again will be proved profoundly wrong. Remember my words!

      1. Relax Alan, of course not!
        I agree with a great percentage of your posts, more than with almost ANY other regular poster.
        Not that agreeing with someone matters one jot to me, provided I see intelligent thought and maturethinking with anyone at all that I debate with.

        I have been on JA for many years but no longer make the mistake of debating with some of the less bright folk I once used to take regular issue with. I seek on JA, ONLY intelligent fans to discuss with.

        You are one of JA’s brightest thinkers and as such, I much respect you.

        1. JF
          I have been called a lot of things in life time
          Brightest thinker 😍
          I feel my cheeks Glowing like a light bulb now 💡

          Ps
          SWS
          still intrigued to your comments on badly treated

          My thoughts are that MA since putting Saliba in to the starting line up has elevated him to a higher level

          1. Alan You very clearly ARE a bright thinker , however modest you may be about that truth. I hope I did not embarrass you, but truth in my writing is very important to me and if I appreciate someones brain, whether on JA or in life generally, I am prone to saying so.

            The reverse HAS been true on JA, but I am now resolved to ignore less bright folk and no longer bother discussing with them at all.

              1. Mark
                I have to make the most of JF nice comments to me right now
                He’s given me some right old comment bashing in the past
                See.. a leopard 🐆 can change his spots 😃

  5. Guys the question was who do you think should play tomorrow.
    Ramsdale;
    White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Tierney;
    Odegaard, Jorginho, Xhaka;
    Trossard, Jesus, Martinelli.
    Starboy to come on later and will prove he still has petrol in his tank. Partey to replace Jorginho late on if neccessary.
    PREDICTION: Arsenal 2 Brighton 1
    Goals scorers : Jesus and Trossard.

  6. Ramsdale
    White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Tierney
    Odegaard, Jorginho, Xhaka
    Martinelli, Jesus, Trossard

    I would like to see Trossard on the left wing position as I would rate Martinelli as a better right winger.

    Problem is that I can see MA picking Zinchenko and Saka. Saka needs to be on the bench. and come on as super-sub for this one. Zinchenko is hopefully unavailable for this match. He can come back for the last game but not against Nottingham Forest as Brennan Johnson would run rings around him.

    We need a favour from Everton in the earlier kick off.

  7. Odd that injured and “out for the rest of the season” Zinchenko is still in training with the squad (as reported on Arseblog).
    I doubt that he starts anyway, even if fully fit.
    This is a game that due to an obligation to watch a cricket match I’m unfortunately going to miss.
    Never mind, I’m sure Arsenal can win without me.

  8. Tierney for Zinchenco and Trossard for Saka would be my 2 changes rest of the team stays the same that played at Newcastle!
