Brighton Faces Injury Crisis Ahead Arsenal Carabao Cup Clash

Arsenal is set to face Brighton in the Carabao Cup fourth round at the Emirates Stadium, aiming to continue their impressive form with a seventh consecutive win and to advance in the competition, which they have not won in five years. Mikel Arteta may rotate his squad, with key players like Kepa Arrizabalaga expected to feature primarily in domestic cup games, while injury concerns for Arsenal include William Saliba. Brighton, coached by Fabian Hurzeler, arrive with several key players sidelined due to injuries, including James Milner, Kaoru Mitoma, Brajan Gruda, and Harry Howell, which could hamper their chances of upsetting Arsenal again as they did in previous Carabao Cup meetings. Despite these setbacks, Hurzeler expressed confidence in his team's ability to find solutions and prepare for Arsenal's strong set-piece threat. The match promises to be a challenging contest, with Arsenal currently leading the Premier League and unbeaten in the Champions League, and Brighton looking to bounce back from a recent defeat to Manchester United. Fans can watch the game live on Sky Sports+ and Now TV in the UK.
