Arsenal is heavily favored to win this match, especially considering their strong home form at the Emirates. The Gunners have won 9 out of their last 10 home games in the Premier League, showcasing their dominance on familiar turf. Brighton, while impressive, faces a tough challenge against a team that has consistently outperformed them.
Our Score Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Brighton
After finishing as runners-up to Manchester City for two seasons, Arsenal is on a mission to finally secure their first Premier League title since 2004. With two wins already this season, including a crucial victory over Aston Villa, Arsenal is off to a strong start. Last season, Arsenal was prolific in front of goal, scoring 91 times with three players netting 12 or more goals each.
Brighton, under new manager Fabian Hurzeler, is also looking sharp. They’ve won their first two games of the season, defeating Everton and Manchester United, and are eager to continue this streak. However, their away game at Arsenal could be their toughest challenge yet.
Arsenal allowed only 29 goals last season, the fewest in the league, and they have yet to concede this season. With players like Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard already scoring this season, Arsenal’s attack is versatile and dangerous.
Brighton has integrated several new players, which could be a double-edged sword. While they bring fresh energy, they also lack the cohesion of a more established squad. Although Brighton has started well, the Emirates is a difficult place to maintain momentum, especially against a team as strong as Arsenal.
