Brighton boss Hughton says Duffy ready for Aubameyang showdown

Brighton boss Chris Hughton says Shane Duffy will be up for his clash with Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Irish central defender is back from a ban in place of suspended partner Lewis Dunk against Arsenal at the Amex today.

Hughton told The Argus: "One thing that hasn't changed about Arsenal is they can score goals and have got plenty of goalscorers.

"Offensively they are a very good team and playing in a style that gives them very good possession.

"But that's what it's about. If you are a defender, although very conscious it's going to be a very difficult day for you, you want to play against the best players."
