Arsenal take on Brighton in a huge clash in the Premier League, but they will be without several key stars in the squad.
Mikel Arteta will be considering his options to deal with the right flank, with Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling both out injured.
In two games, two different Arsenal stars have featured there as Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri have both had chances.
There is another issue to deal with on the right as Jurrien Timber is missing from the matchday squad to face Brighton in the Premier League.

Why is Jurrien Timber missing from Brighton vs Arsenal?
Jurrien Timber has impressed since returning from a serious injury he suffered last season, becoming a key player at the back.
The Dutch international has featured at right-back most, but he has also been able to play at left-back and centre-back when required.
His absence comes as a huge blow, as Timber picked up a suspension for picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last time out against Brentford.
The defender is out for just the Brighton game, which means he will be able to return in time for the coming run of matches.
With the EFL Cup semi-finals around the corner, an FA Cup tie with Manchester United and the North London Derby coming up, it comes as a huge boost that Timber will be back soon.
Who could replace Jurrien Timber for Arsenal’s clash with Brighton?
There are a few options for Arsenal to replace Timber, though there is no clear standout player at right-back.
Myles Lewis-Skelly could feature on the right, despite mainly playing on the left flank during his career at full-back.
Another popular option for Mikel Arteta at right-back is Thomas Partey, with the midfielder more than capable of playing there.
It would mean a change in midfield though, with Declan Rice looking to make a return from injury in a potential shuffle.
Another option for a full-back could be to see another Arsenal academy star given a chance to impress, while the less popular pick could be to shuffle one of the centre-backs to the flank.
It remains to be seen exactly what Arteta opts for, but it will be another big call for the manager to make.
