AC Milan's talismanic forward Rafael Leão has reignited speculation about a move to the Premier League, with sources revealing the 26-year-old Portuguese star is "very keen" to test himself in England.

Mikel Arteta hailed Max Dowman as a “special” talent after he made history for Arsenal. Dowman became Arsenal’s youngest-ever senior starter when he was picked in the team to face Brighton at the age of just 15 years and 302 days.

Brighton outshot Arsenal on the night, forcing Kepa into six saves. First-choice keeper David Raya has faced just five shots since September. It wasn’t entirely convincing, but Arteta can at least take solace from his side’s spot in the quarterfinals.

Arsenal will face London rivals Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals, while League One side Cardiff City will host Chelsea in the Welsh capital.

Cristhian Mosquera has a bigger impact than many envisaged he would after joining Arsenal from Valencia in the summer.

Brighton predicted lineup vs. Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Steele; Veltman, Coppola, Dunk, De Cuyper; Ayari, Baleba; Minteh, Gómez, Watson; Welbeck.
