Granit Xhaka returns to the Arsenal midfield for the Gunners' final game of the season against Brighton.

The Swiss midfielder has been missing through injury over the past few games, but starts alongside Thomas Partey as Mikel Arteta's side attempt to secure qualification for the European Conference League.

Nicolas Pepe features in attack with Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who leads the frontline.

Subs: Runarsson, Mari, Cedric, Elneny, Ceballos, Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah, Lacazette.
