Two goals in four games now for Saka, who hadn't found the net in 15 prior to that

The travelling Arsenal support sing: "One Nil To The Arsenal"

GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Arsenal. Bukayo Saka scores after eight minutes after his shot takes a nick off Baleba before squeezing past Verbruggen

GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!!!

The rousing strains of Sussex By The Sea have barely subsided and Raya gives the ball straight to Baleba, who lifts it over the keeper, but Gabriel gets back to clear

The teams are out not long now until Brighton vs Arsenal.

Albion stalwart Lewis Dunk is absent for Brighton, replaced by Olivier Boscagli, with Fabian Hurzeler making two further changes from the team that beat Nottingham Forest last time out, as Carlos Baleba is preferred to James Milner with Georginio Rutter coming in for Danny Welbeck - with the former Arsenal striker forced to settle for a place on the bench.

William Saliba misses the match to be replaced by Cristhian Mosquera, while Declan Rice was deemed fit to start after asking to come off in the closing minutes of the 2-1 victory over Chelsea at the weekend. Gabi Martinelli has been drafted in for Leandro Trossard, who drops to the bench alongside a fit Kai Havertz.

The games are coming thick and fast for Mikel Arteta's Premier League table toppers with nothing more than a win required by the Gunners on the south coast this evening
