"Bukayo Saka captains the team in the absence of Martin Odegaard, and makes his 300th first team appearance for us. He becomes the 52nd men's player in our history to reach the milestone, across all competitions, after making his debut as a 17 year old back in November 2018."
"Mikel Arteta will know the importance of a win over Albion, particularly with Man City kicking off at home to Nottingham Forest at the same time, and has resisted making too many changes from the win over Chelsea at the weekend."
Mikel Arteta made minimal lineup changes from Arsenal's Chelsea victory, recognizing the importance of securing a win against Brighton while Manchester City plays Nottingham Forest simultaneously. Bukayo Saka starts and captains the team in Martin Odegaard's absence. This match marks a significant milestone for Saka, who reaches his 300th first team appearance for Arsenal. To commemorate the achievement, Saka wears a special matchday shirt with the number 300 engraved on the back. He becomes the 52nd men's player in Arsenal's history to reach this milestone across all competitions, having debuted as a 17-year-old in November 2018. Saka recently ended a Premier League goal drought against Wolves but failed to score in subsequent matches against Tottenham and Chelsea.
