Brighton vs. Arsenal EPL Preview

Seagulls Thriving in Opening Month of the Campaign

Brighton have enjoyed a red-hot start to the new Premier League season, with Fabian Hurzeler already teasing that the club’s ambitions may be loftier than simply a European finish.

The Seagulls have lost just once in the opening four rounds, and they have shown attacking quality with 14 goals scored over that period. Last weekend’s 5-0 win over Coventry highlighted their prowess in the final third, with five different scorers getting themselves on the scoresheet.

Pascal Gross has been an integral player to their success, with the German registering four goal involvements in as many appearances in the EPL. Brighton will be without a number of key stars due to injury this weekend, including Jack Hinshelwood, Yankuba Minteh, and Kaoru Mitoma.

Likely Lineup:

(4-2-3-1) Vebruggen (GK); Kadioglu, Vukskovic, Dunk, Boscagli; Ayari, Gross; De Cuyper, Yalcouye, Gomez; Kastoulas

Gunners Enjoying Perfect Start to Title Defense

Mikel Arteta couldn’t have asked for more from his Arsenal team this season, as the Gunners have won seven straight fixtures in all competitions at the start of the new season.

Once again, their dominance has been built on an excellent defensive record, keeping five clean sheets over that period. Bukayo Saka has been a standout player for the Gunners in the opening month, having scored three goals in the EPL.

Kai Havertz has also excelled, averaging 1.7 key passes per 90. Ezri Konsa will retain his spot in the heart of the defense due to William Saliba’s injury. Jurrien Timber will also make his return to the starting eleven to replace Ben White.

Likely Lineup:

(4-2-3-1) Raya (GK); Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Saka, Odegaard, Tzolis; Havertz

Head-to-Head Stats

• Arsenal have won their last three head-to-heads against Brighton in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in two fixtures over that period.
• Brighton are winless in their last eight against the Gunners since a 3-0 away win in May 2023.
• Arsenal have kept clean sheets in two of their previous three trips to the Amex Stadium.

Brighton vs. Arsenal EPL Picks

This will be a matchup between a thriving offensive team and one that boasts the best defensive record in the Premier League.

Brighton’s attacking players should get joy against the Gunners, but the fact that the Seagulls have less time to prepare for this fixture shouldn’t be dismissed. Therefore, the Gunners look like the standout selection when making picks to record a fourth straight win against Brighton.

• Arsenal (-134)
