Chris Hughton believes Izzy Brown can be a good option up front for Albion at Arsenal.

The Seagulls boss is unlikely to risk Glenn Murray at the Emirates tomorrow after he resumed training following ankle trouble.

With Tomer Hemed banned, Brown, on loan from Chelsea, has been earmarked as an emergency No.9.

Hughton confirmed: “It certainly is an option for us. He’s a very flexible forward player.

“We brought him in very much as a (number) ten, where he had played for Huddersfield last season.

“In his first loan at Rotherham he played very much off the front, went abroad played off the left, and in his first game for us and in pre-season was on the left. He has that versatility in his game.”

Albion are 13-1 underdogs to win away in the top flight for the first time since March 1983 and inflict Arsenal’s first home Premier League defeat since the end of January.

Hughton, the last manager to steer a promoted side to victory away to the Gunners with Newcastle in 2010, said: “It was an Andy Carroll header and I remember it well. That’s what the challenge is.

“There can’t be anywhere in this division that you afford yourself the feeling you can’t go and get something.

“We will have to have things go our way and will have to play at a really good level and probably play an Arsenal team who don’t play at their best.

“Most people wouldn’t expect us to get anything, but that’s the great opportunity we have.”
