Forward call, Merino chance and Calafiori’s first start – Dream Arsenal XI vs Brighton

Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino in contention for Arsenal ahead of clash with Brighton

Arsenal continue their challenging start to the Premier League season looking to make it three wins from three after beating both Wolves and Aston Villa. The win last weekend was a massive boost to the side’s title chances having lost twice to Unai Emery’s side last season.

Brighton are the opposition this forthcoming Saturday lunchtime as the Gunners face their first early kick-off of the new campaign kicking off the weekend’s action. The Seagulls have enjoyed an equally confident start to the campaign beating both Everton and Manchester United providing the perfect beginning to Fabian Hurzeler’s time in charge after Roberto De Zerbi departed for Marseille in the summer.
