Brighton & Arsenal teams released

The Brighton and Arsenal teams are set to clash in Matchweek five as the Gunners aim to open their season with eight victories for the first time in 123 years. Ahead of the match, Arsenal had doubts over a few players, but Mikel Arteta confirmed they are fit and ready to play.

Brighton's starting XI will be announced, while Arsenal's lineup includes Raya, Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Bruno G, Odegaard, Saka, Havertz, and Tzolis. Arsenal's head-to-head record against Brighton is impressive, having won 20 of their 35 meetings, with eight losses and seven draws. The Gunners have won their last three games against Brighton, both at home and away.

In their last seven meetings, Arsenal has not lost a single game, while Brighton has yet to win a home game against the Premier League champions. The Gunners have conceded at least four goals in each of Brighton's last five matches at the Amex, conceding four goals in each of those games. Brighton has been the top scorer in the league this season, netting 13 goals, with nine of those coming in just two matches.

Arsenal has conceded just two goals in their last nine Premier League matches, and they have won their last nine league matches. Arsenal has only won 10 straight games twice before, in 1998 and 2002. Brighton has conceded more goals in the first 15 minutes of a match than any other side this season.
