Meanwhile, Arsenal have been forced to mix things up after their chastening trip to Manchester on Wednesday night.
Their new-look attack features marquee-signing Pepe, and French star Lacazette.
Meanwhile, German superstar Ozil makes the bench after not being included in the match squad when the side lost to Man City.

Brighton sit in 15th - only 2 points clear of the drop zone.
