90+11' Masaka is still receiving treatment. Maanum is named the Arsenal Women Supporters Club's player of the match. 5-0

90+8' Not the end to this game anyone wanted- the stretchers are on for Masaka, with Codina checking on the Tanzanian striker. 5-0

79' Rosa Kafaji is introduced in place of Beth Mead. 4-0

48' Thorisdottir is down and requiring treatment. 3-0

46' Both sides unchanged and the second half is underway. 0-0

Leah Williamson leads an animated half-time team huddle, clearly not allowing for any complacency in this Arsenal side!

Arsenal travel to Italy to take on Juventus next, and myself and Suzy will be in Biella (and Turin) to bring you all of our usual coverage.

An opportunity now for Renee Slegers to really rotate her squad and make some changes in this second half with Arsenal 3-0 up.

Arsenal's best half of the WSL season, with fine goals from Beth Mead, Caitlin Foord and Frida Maanum. The Gunners have dominated Brighton from the get go and could have had more!

41' Russo crosses for Mead at the back post who heads over. 3-0

39' Fox goes sprinting into the Brighton half and is clattered by Bergsvand, who is booked. She was away there. 3-0

34' Maanum tries her luck for another collector's item but Baggaley gets across and saves well. 3-0

34' Brighton almost don't seem to be used playing on a pitch of this size, or Arsenal are making it look massive- they are pulling the Seagulls apart so easily. 3-0

29' Now Mead puts Foord in behind and her early shot comes back off the post! 3-0

27' Renee Slegers could not have wished for a better start to this game. Seike does get forward for Brighton but her cross is straight at Williamson. 3-0

25' GOOOAAALLL! Frida Maanum scores yet another screamer at the Emirates, finding the top corner from the left corner of the penalty area. What a hit! 3-0

23' Goal! Little crosses for Foord who finishes from close range and Arsenal deservedly double their lead! 2-0

21' Mead is caught offside twice in quick succession, this time in space in the penalty area. 1-0

17' That's just the second time Arsenal have scored in the first-half in their last six WSL games, and will lift a lot of pressure. 1-0

15' Mead was able to beat Pattinson easily there but it was still a top finish with her weaker foot, pinpoint into the far corner. Just what Arsenal needed. 1-0

13' Goal! 1-0 to the Arsenal! Beth Mead cuts inside and curls a left-footed shot in off the post- a top finish. 1-0

6' Russo charges down the left and Walti can tee up McCabe before she's expertly tackled in the penalty area. 0-0

3' Both sides have looked to get the ball down and play, with Brighton stretching Arsenal's full-backs before Mead then heads straight at Baggaley down the other end. 0-0

1' Underway at Emirates Stadium! 0-0

The Last Post is beautifully observed by the home crowd.

There will be a minute's silence before kick-off ahead of Remembrance Day.

Here come the teams!

The Seagulls beat Leicester 1-0 last time out thanks to Parris' goal, her third in succession.

Brighton will move up to second place tonight if they beat Arsenal, having lost one out of their opening six league games, away to Man City by one goal to nil. Dario Vidosic was named WSL manager of the month for October.

In case you missed it, I penned an exclusive story on Arsenal midfielder Kathrine Kuhl on Wednesday: https://www.onlinegooner.com/articles/view/exclusive-u21-runout-for-kathrine-kuhl-as-midfielder-waits-for-first-team-football

Arsenal have won all 12 of their WSL games against Brighton, most recently putting five past the Seagulls on the final day of 2023/24.

Arsenal played some excellent football away to Man United and Alessia Russo scored her first goal of the season, but Melvine Malard's late equaliser stripped the Gunners of two vital points. Arsenal have now failed to beat Chelsea, Man City and United this season.

Both sides will wear shirts displaying the poppy emblem to show their respects ahead of Remembrance Day.

Brighton are of course without Arsenal loanee Michelle Agyemang, who cannot play against her parent club. Nikita Parris does start against a side she scored just once for in 2021/22, having already netted against former club Manchester United this season.

There's a third consecutive start at centre-back for Steph Catley, who is given the nod ahead of three senior CBs by Renee Slegers.

Lotte Wubben-Moy missed England vs South Africa and Arsenal's most recent outing with a concussion protocol, but is back on the bench for the Gunners.

Mariona Caldentey is unavailable, and is replaced in the starting lineup by Beth Mead. There's also a change in goal as Mariona Zinsberger takes Daphne van Domselaar's place.

Brighton subs: Poulter, Loeck, Olislagers, Mclauchlan, Rayner, Masaka, Vilamala.

Brighton: Baggaley; Thorisdottir, Bergsvand, Carabali; Pattinson, Losada, Kirby, Symonds; Haley, Parris, Seike.

Arsenal subs: Van Domselaar, Wubben-Moy, Codina, Reid, Cooney-Cross, Kuhl, Kafaji, Hurtig, Blackstenius.

Arsenal: Zinsberger; McCabe, Catley, Williamson, Fox; Walti, Little; Foord, Maanum, Mead; Russo.

Team news is in, with Renee Slegers making too changes from the 1-1 draw last time out.

Good evening! It's a chilly Friday night at Emirates Stadium but Arsenal Women are out to warm the spirits of their loyal supporters after conceding late on away to Manchester United on Sunday. They host Brighton & Hove Albion.
