Arsenal and Brighton will square off in an EFL Cup fourth round tie on Wednesday (October 29th). The game will be played at The Emirates Stadium.
The home side will be looking to build on the 1-0 victory they registered over Crystal Palace at the same venue in the Premier League over the weekend. Eberechi Eze broke the deadlock with an acrobatic strike against his former side in the 39th minute and his goal settled the contest.
Brighon, meanwhile, saw their run of three consecutive wins at Old Trafford come to an end in a 4-2 defeat away to Manchester United. They were two goals down at the break courtesy of goals from Matheus Cunha and Casemiro. Bryan Mbeumo made it 3-0 just past the hour-mark before completing his brace deep into injury time after Danny Welbeck and Caharlampos Kostoulas scored to make the game edgy.

Brighton saw their five-game unbeaten streak ended by Manchester United. Their games tend to be open-ended, with seven of their last eight games witnessing goals at both ends, making this a clash of styles.
