Brighton & Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton will be hoping to continue his impressive start at the club when they host Arsenal in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday afternoon.

Hughton, who recently replaced Sami Hyypia, has won three of his first four games in charge, including a 3-2 victory over promotion-chasing Ipswich Town on Wednesday night.

With the club's priority being survival in the Championship, Hughton could make changes but he will be eager to maintain the momentum generated in the opening weeks of his tenure.

Arsenal make the trip to the Amex Stadium on the back of their superb 2-0 success away at Manchester City last weekend.

It was a display not normally befitting the Gunners and the manner in which they defeated the Premier League champions has resulted in renewed optimism at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger's side have won five of their last six fixtures in all competitions, while they are maintaining their threat in front of goal, with the team only failing to score once in their last 20 matches.

Mesut Ozil should make his first start for over three months, while Theo Walcott is likely to feature after being confined to the substitutes' bench in recent weeks.

Wojciech Szczesny could return in goal, while defender Calum Chambers and winger Joel Campbell should benefit from players being rested.
