29: OUCH! Gilmour and Jesus challenge for a loose ball and the Arsenal striker's right arm connects with the midfielder's face. Brighton are awarded a free-kick and the home fans aren't happy about it.

"The break in play prompts full-on tactical debriefs from both managers. De Zerbi is directing his players' attention to a notepad. Messages being relayed."

27: Veltman can't continue and is coming off. While Brighton prepare Hinshelwood to come on, both managers have the chance to pass on some instructions.

Veltman goes straight down the tunnel. Another injury for Brighton

Arsenal unchanged from Villa; Jorginho absent

Arsenal name the same side as the one beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa last weekend, meaning David Raya is back in for Aaron Ramsdale in goal following the midweek draw with PSV Eindhoven. Kai Havertz completes the midfield along with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

Gabriel Jesus again leads the line, flanked by Gabriel Martinelli, who has shaken off an illness,and Bukayo Saka, but there's no place in the squad for Jorginho, who misses out with a foot problem.
