Team news: Rice returns as one of three changes
Declan Rice in action against Ipswich TownMikel Arteta has made three changes to his side for this evening’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.
The boss has switched things around again having been in action just three days ago as we kicked off 2025 with a win against Brentford, and Declan Rice and Jorginho come into midfield, with Martin Odegaard dropping to the bench. The Italian captains the side.
Thomas Partey fills in at right-back for the suspended Jurrien Timber, while Leandro Trossard has been handed a chance to shine against his former club, with Gabriel Martinelli hoping to make his 200th appearance for the club off the bench.
