Arsenal have been handed a double injury boost ahead of the Carabao Cup clash against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

Chelsea consider £39m deal for Lens midfielder

Chelsea ready to battle Arsenal for Brentford star?

The Gunners have been in exceptional form over the past month, and they recently picked up a seventh consecutive win across all competitions after beating Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

In the same game, William Saliba, Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Martinelli sustained knocks. Manager Mikel Arteta has now revealed that Rice and Calafiori are fit for tomorrow.

He said: "Rice will be available, and (Calafiori) as well, yes."

Arsenal have conceded just three goals in their 13 games this campaign, but there could be a different test tomorrow with a new-look defence set to face the Seagulls.

Arteta could field Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie and Myles Lewis-Skelly in the back four with Kepa Arrizabalaga in between the sticks.

Arsenal have not beaten Brighton in the previous two meetings. Both games ended in 1-1 draws in the Premier League last season.
