Emile Smith Rowe makes his second consecutive start for Arsenal against Brighton.
The 20-year-old impressed in the Gunners 3-1 win over Chelsea on Boxing Day and keeps his place in the team for the match at the AMEX Stadium.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also returns to the starting XI following his return from a calf injury in Mikel Arteta's only change from Boxing Day.
He does so alongside Gabriel Martinelli who starts again after recently returning from his own injury lay-off, meaning that Alex Lacazette misses out despite scoring against the Blues.
Pablo Mari continues at the back in the absence of Gabriel, who has tested positive for COVID-19, and David Luiz, who recently showed symptoms.
Willian, who missed the Chelsea game through illness, is also not involved again.
Mikel Arteta's side face another game in quick succession against West Brom on Saturday and will be desperate to pick up another three points on the South Coast.
Arsenal XI: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Tierney; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli; Aubameyang
