Arsenal team news
Arsenal's narrow victory over Crystal Palace last weekend came at a price. William Saliba, Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori, and Gabriel Martinelli all picked up knocks in that bruising encounter, though the first three were likely to be rested regardless. The full extent of their injuries remains uncertain, but for now, they join long-term absentees Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Jesus on a growing injury list that now stands at eight.
In the earlier rounds, Saliba partnered Cristhian Mosquera at the back against Port Vale, but this time, a full debut for Piero Hincapie looks firmly on the cards. Meanwhile, teenage sensation Max Dowman, just 15, could see his spot handed to Ethan Nwaneri as Mikel Arteta looks to carefully rotate his side.
Brighton team news
Over in the visitors' camp, Brighton continue to manage their own fitness woes. The trio of Kaoru Mitoma (ankle), Joel Veltman (calf), and Brajan Gruda (knee) all missed the weekend trip to Old Trafford but are reportedly edging closer to returns and could feature in midweek if cleared. Unfortunately, Jack Hinshelwood (foot), Solly March (knee), and Adam Webster (knee) remain long-term casualties, with only Hinshelwood expected to have a chance of playing again before the year ends.
Given the quality of the opposition, Hurzeler is unlikely to tinker too much with his starting XI. That said, Barnsley hero Gomez and veteran midfielder James Milner, who racked up his 90th Premier League assist over the weekend, are both pushing for starts as the Seagulls aim to keep their remarkable cup run alive.
