At 00:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 7, the 32nd round of the English Premier League will stage an interesting strong dialogue, and the Gunners Arsenal will challenge the strong Brighton team.
After the first 30 rounds, Arsenal has 21 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, accumulating 68 points, 2 points behind the top Liverpool, and temporarily ranking second in the Premier League standings. There are 8 rounds left in the Premier League to end, and if Arsenal wants to overtake Liverpool and seize the initiative to win the title, it must not only ensure that it does not fall off the chain, but also hope that Liverpool will drop the chain. In short, every next round of the Premier League, for Arsenal, is almost a key battle to determine the ownership of the championship. The same is true for this away trip to Brighton.
The data shows that Arsenal has only won 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 8 meetings with Brighton, which is only a slight psychological advantage. Therefore, this time away to Brighton, Arsenal undoubtedly encountered a difficult hard bone. Whether you can win the game in the end and take all three points, the outcome is difficult to predict.
Given the tough title race, Arteta will definitely go all out to win this game and send out the strongest starting line-up without reservation. Here's a quick look at Arsenal's likely starting line-up.
In the goalkeeper position, it is naturally David Raya who guards the Arsenal goal, and at the back, coach Mikel Arteta is expected to continue to play a solid back four, with Ben White, Gabriel, Saliba and Manchester City veteran Oleksandr Zinchenko likely to start. Gabriel and Saliba will play in a pairing of centre-backs, while Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White will play at wing-back.
In midfield, it is no surprise that the Gunners' main midfielder responsible for interceptions and tackles will be African striker Thomas Partey, while the Norwegian star Odegaard will be paired with Thomas Partey in a two-man midfield combination. Next to the two midfielders, England midfielder Smith Rowe, who is expected to be resurrected, will be the leading pillar up front and lead the attacking line of the team.
Up front, it is expected that German star Kai Havertz will be in charge of the charge up front, while the trident pair with Havertz should be Belgian striker Leandro Trossard and Brazilian star Martinelli. Bukayo Saka is likely to be on the bench.
Based on the above analysis, the final expected starting line-up for Arsenal against Brighton is: David Raya, Ben White, Gabriel, Saliba, Zinchenko, Thomas Partey, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Havertz, Trossard
