Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal have confirmed their starting teams for their meeting at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday.
The leaders are five points above second-placed Manchester City with a game less to play than their nearest rivals following a 2-1 win over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Brighton could rise to ninth with victory, having ended a wretched run of form by winning at Brentford on February 21 and at home to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
