1. Will Trossard start against Brighton?

Another goal from super-sub Leandro Trossard sparked Arsenal’s successful revenge mission against Aston Villa last week, with the Belgian forward now having scored six off the bench since joining from Brighton in January 2023. The question now is whether Mikel Arteta is tempted to throw him in from the start against his former club when they meet on Saturday. Trossard has made only 28 Premier League starts for Arsenal – the same number of times he has been introduced as a substitute – and has managed 14 goals, with Gabriel Martinelli starting both league games on the left side of his attack so far this season. “I know the competition in the team and it pushes everyone to go onto the next level and I’m very happy to have an impact and help the team,” Trossard said after the Villa game last week.
