Arsenal heads to the Amex Stadium tonight, looking to achieve a third straight win and set a Premier League record for goals from corners.

The Gunners are on a strong run, holding a five-point lead after a tough 2-1 win against Chelsea. Manager Mikel Arteta guided the team to tie the record for most corner goals in a season (16) and is now aiming for the outright record against Brighton, who have managed just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Arsenal has also been successful in their last five visits to the Amex since the 2020-21 season.

Arteta’s squad is dealing with some injuries while welcoming back key players. Declan Rice is doubtful due to an injury from the Chelsea game, but he is expected to train and possibly start. If Rice or Martin Ødegaard cannot play, Myles Lewis-Skelly, a Hale End graduate, may get the nod in midfield. Viktor Gyökeres has been in great form, contributing to six goals in his last seven away matches (5 goals, 1 assist). Arsenal has also become more effective on the road this season, scoring an average of 2.3 goals per game in 2026 compared to 1.2 earlier in the year.

David Raya will take the goalkeeping position behind a defense led by William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. If Rice is fit, he will team up with Martin Zubimendi in midfield. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will provide width, while Gyökeres is set to lead the attack. Notably, 65% of the time Arsenal has scored first this season, it has been through a set-piece or penalty.
