Brighton & Arsenal teams released

Arsenal are at Brighton today for Matchweek five, looking to open a season with eight wins for the first time in 123 years when they were in the second division.

Ahead of the game, Arsenal had a number of doubts over a few players – Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera – but Mikel Arteta hinted that they were all fit and fine to be included in the squad.

Timber was fit to start while Hincapie is on the bench. White and Mosquera are not in the squad but Cristhian did travel with them.
