'Absolutely fine': Liam Rosenior confirms key Chelsea duo are fit for Wednesday

The Gunners are currently top of the league standings with 64 points, five ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand against Crystal Palace.

Ahead of tonight's clash against Brighton, the London giants have received a setback with Saliba having not made the matchday squad.

Arsenal have confirmed that he picked up an injury in the recent 2-1 win over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.

Cristhian Mosquera is set to deputise for Saliba and partner Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the defence.

The Gunners have beaten the Seagulls in their last two meetings in all competitions, but they played out a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium in the league last term.

Mikel Arteta's side face a stern challenge against the South Coast outfit and must play at their best to secure a victory on the road tonight.
