Brighton v Arsenal

Brighton vs Arsenal Preview

Brighton picked up another point in the English top flight last weekend when The Seagulls drew 2-2 away from home at Aston Villa but nevertheless, that result only served to extend Brighton's winless run in the Premier League to a disappointing seven games overall.

Arsenal racked up a third win on the trot in the Premier League on New Years Day when The Gunners registered a 3-1 win away from home at Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium and no doubt Mikel Arteta's side will be looking for more of the same when they make their way down along the south coast at Brighton on Saturday evening.

Brighton have been involved in no fewer than five stalemates within their last seven matches overall in the domestic top flight but losses to the likes of Fulham and Crystal Palace respectively have meant that The Seagulls remain in a mid-table position of 10th place in the Premier League table.

Results and form on home soil at their AMEX Stadium though has been solid and steady as Brighton have suffered just the single defeat within their nine home games this season while the goals market looks inviting as both teams have scored in 15 out of Brighton's 19 matches to date this term.

Arsenal collected a third league win on the trot in the domestic top flight last time out with a 3-1 win on the road at Brentford in an all-London clash which followed on from previous victories gained over Crystal Palace 5-1 and a 1-0 home win against Ipswich Town, lifting The Gunners back up into second place in the table.

The bigger picture shows Arsenal have been dealt just the two losses so far in this season's Premier League campaign which came in the form of defeats at Bournemouth and Newcastle United and both also being away from home as well.

Since their second loss being a 1-0 defeat away from home at Newcastle United, Arsenal have put together an impressive nine-game unbeaten sequence which includes collecting six wins in the process, three of which have been achieved on their travels.

Wins on the road at West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford in 5-2, 5-1 and 3-1 victories respectively underline Arsenal's attacking firepower, even without the services of Bakayo Saka in their ranks as The Gunners have plundered a total of 13 goals in these last three wins on the road.

Brighton v Arsenal Verdict

Four of the last seven meetings between Brighton and Arsenal have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net while Arsenal have held the upper hand in terms of the straight win markets, picking up three wins out of the previous five encounters.
