Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah were on the scoresheet for the league leaders.
Today’s game promises to be entertaining as Brighton, since their promotion to the Premier League in 2017, have always proven difficult to beat by Arsenal.
The Gunners have found it tough against the Seagulls, winning just three of their 10 meetings.
Both sides met in the Carabao Cup third round in November, where Brighton beat the Gunners 3-1 at the Emirates.
Brighton and Hove Albion’s possible line up:
Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Colwill, Estupinan; Gilmour, Gross; March, Lallana, Mitoma; Trossard.
Arsenal’s possible line up:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli.
