Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Former Arsenal man Welbeck makes way. He's been kept relatively at arms length today. Julio Enciso emerges for the final exchanges.

Mitoma is off then, and Simon Adingra arrives. He scored in the Carabao Cup earlier in the week, and of course, grabbed that late assist against Manchester United. Can he offer some late magic here?

Partey was caught by Joao Pedro and Raya takes a long kick up the pitch. Despite Saka's lurking presence, it trundles through to Verbruggen. After a brief counter, Mitoma botches a cross and it looks like that's his last action of the game as we see a double change here.

Mitoma is slid in superbly behind White, yet the defender recovers excellently and Brighton have a corner. The last touch was an Arsenal one from that set-piece and it's the same again. Van Hecke then heads wide, colliding with Rutter in the process. Luckily, the two Brighton men are unscathed - just a little shaken.

Well, he's just come back from a long spell on the sidelines. Let's hope it's not too bad an injury for Timber this time around. He comes off for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

After a short break, with Timber down, a long Brighton ball is overhit and goes out for a Raya goal-kick.

Up the other end, the tireless tempo continues! Havertz is slotted in down the right flank and squares it to Saka who slides. Verbruggen saves well, although the effort was a little stretched and tame.

Ayari sees a rebound come to him with Raya already having dived! The youngster has the whole goal to aim at from the edge of the box, yet fires it straight at the Spaniard and Arsenal survive!

Verbruggen saves low with his feet from Havertz after the German wrestles his way to reach a great pass through. Saka goes for the rebound and stays on his feet, but the ball eventually squirms away from Arsenal's grasp.
