3. Mattéo Guendouzi

There have been a number of standout performers in the post-Wenger Arsenal, and Matteo Guendouzi is definitely one of them. The former FC Lorient midfielder has been a true revelation to the Premier League.

With him being so technically adept and orchestrating from midfield with an eye for forward passes, Arsenal don't have to drop the tempo of the.

Brighton are expected to go all out defensive, so the young Frenchman will be tasked with picking out the passes that will unlock that defence.

4. Lucas Torreira

Still on the revelations of the season, Lucas Torreira has been one as well.

The Arsenal number 11 is one of those players that you love to watch; a player that works hard on and off the ball. When he loses the ball, he's quick to win it back, without leaving that responsibility to his fellow players.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan also likes to get forward to great effect, and that is demonstrated by the number of goals he has scored.

He's not your average destroyer as he can pick a pass from deep and he's creative enough too. Brighton will sure have their hands full with this little man.

5. Mesut Ozil

Just a couple of days ago, Unai Emery said quite clearly that the team needed Ozil, and he showed why during their game against Burnley.

Ozil was the creator in chief in the Arsenal lineup, and did all he could to make sure that the team wasn't short in attack.

On his day, Ozil can pick the lock to any defence in the world. Brighton will have to pay close attention to him and his passes in their box.
