Brighton vs. Arsenal: Team News & Possible Line-ups
The possible line-ups are derived from previous match days. We take into consideration how strong the opponents are, what players are injured and of course team news before the match.
Team News Brighton & Hove Albion
Assistant head coach Chris Roberts with the squad update: Jorelyn Carabali and Vicky Losada are close to a return. Madison Haley is still out, and Michelle Agyemang is ineligible to face her parent club.
What the coach has to say:
Chris Roberts on facing Arsenal after they lost to Aston Villa last week: “It’s our last home game and we’ve had an excellent record at home. We’ve had unbelievable support from our fans, and we want to make sure we give them the best possible final game of the season. As a squad we want to finish our season well. It’s our last home game and we want to make sure we finish with the best possible record at home
“We know how good a team Arsenal are, Champions League finalists and they are a real challenge, but I think last night shows how exciting this league is. You’ve got a team at the bottom half of the table, who’ve had a bit of an up and down season, who score five against the best teams in Europe.
“It’s more of a testament to the quality and strength of this league and how predictable it can be at time. But it does not change anything in the quality of Arsenal, we know how good they are, how good depth they have in the squad, so we’ll continue to prepare for what we know will be a really tough game on Monday.”

Loeck
Olislagers

Team News Arsenal
The Arsenal team news remains the same as it was against Aston Villa: “No, same availability.” That means Daphne van Domselaar is unavailable.
What the coach has to say:
Renée Slegers during her pre-match press conference:
On Brighton: “I can’t tell what they are going to do. They’ll probably play around with ideas and see how they can beat our pressing system. We are going to look at it in a detailed way. I need to do the whole detailed preview for Brighton, so we’re going to do that tomorrow as a staff and then we’re going to build a plan.”
On using the emotions from the loss against Aston Villa: “We’ve done that before. For example, coming back from the Liverpool loss in the Cup and Man City in the Cup as well and that’s what we’re going to have to do now. But I think what’s important for us now as well is to neutralize, because emotions take their toll, and they take energy. They will be there, and we have to accept it and not neglect it, but we need to try to neutralize and get back into our rhythm and prepare for Brighton.”
Our prediction of the Starting IX for Arsenal against Brighton & Hove Albion:
Zinsberger
McCabe
Williamson

Brighton vs. Arsenal: Previous Meetings & Stats
Brighton secured a 3-2 away win at Everton last weekend and will be hoping to end their season on a high with a victory over Arsenal. The Gunners, meanwhile, suffered a 5-2 defeat to Aston Villa and may already have on eye on the Women’s Champions League final.
Arsenal currently sit 2nd in the league and, while they’ve already secured Champions League football for next season, the question remains when they will enter the competition- a distinction that depends on whether they finish second or third. Meaning the points are important for both sides as Brighton are aiming to hold onto 5th place, with Liverpool breathing down their necks – level on points but behind on goal difference.
