4-3-3: Predicted Arsenal XI vs Brighton: Saka dropped, 25-year-old to miss out again as Arteta Men to to revenge for what Brighton did last season that cost them the title

Mikel Arteta, the shrewd manager of Arsenal, demonstrated tactical acumen by carefully rotating his team during the midweek UEFA Champions League group stage match against PSV Eindhoven, which was considered a “dead rubber.” The impending challenge that the Gunners face this Sunday when Brighton & Hove Albion travel to North London surely spurred this well-thought-out move.

As a new venture for the team, the Seagulls are currently adjusting to the demands of playing football in Europe. This is an unprecedented step into continental competition, and Arteta’s tactical squad management is further demonstrated by his awareness of the toll it can take on players.

Information about the impending conflict:

**Time:** Sunday, December 17, 2:00 p.m. – **Location:** The Emirates, London, United Kingdom

With regard to the league standings and current form:

**Arsenal:** LWWWW, 36 points, 2nd place

– **Brighton:** 26 points, eighth place in DWLWD

Brighton’s current eighth-place finish suggests that a concentrated effort will be required to guarantee a spot in continental competition the next year. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City are in a close three-way race for the Premier League title, and Arsenal is positioning itself as a strong opponent. Interestingly, if Aston Villa continues to be competitive into the New Year, the championship race might become an exciting four-way fight.

In the midweek match, supporters can expect the return of important starters to the starting lineup for the match against Brighton thanks to Arteta’s tactical squad rotation. The expected starting lineup for Arsenal may include players like;

Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Kai Havertz.

This matchup promises to be an exciting spectacle as the football story develops, with both teams looking to leave their mark during this pivotal stage of the season.
