What is the Arsenal vs Brighton team news?

Arsene Wenger’s men travelled 2800 miles to Belarus, so rotation will be on the agenda for the Arsenal manager.

Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey did not travel for their Europa League game, so they should return to the squad on Sunday.

However, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Oliver Giroud will be pushing for first-team involvement.

Francis Coquelin, Calum Chambers and Santi Cazorla are still all injured.

Brighton have Steve Sidwell out with a back problem, whilst Sam Baldock and Biram Kayal will also miss out.
