Arsenal confirmed team news vs Brighton as Kieran Tierney starts and Jorginho continues

Kieran Tierney returns to the Arsenal starting XI for their Premier League clash with Brighton. The Scottish international is in for the injured Alex Zinchenko, who misses out with a calf problem.

It's the only change to the team who claimed an impressive victory at Newcastle last week. That means that Jorginho continues in the middle of the park, with Thomas Partey remaining on the bench.

Jakub Kiwior meanwhile continues at the heart of defence alongside Gabriel. Leandro Trossard isn't in the team against his former side, with Gabriel Martinelli starting again on the left.

William Saliba is once again not part of the squad as he continues to recover from a back injury that's likely to keep him out for the remainder of the season. Martin Odegaard will be captaining the side and hoping to break the record for most open play goals by a midfielder in Premier League history.

Arsenal starting XI vs Brighton - Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney; Jorginho, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
