Brighton return to home soil after back‑to‑back away victories, a 5–0 demolition of Coventry last weekend followed by a memorable 3–2 win over Manchester United in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie.
The Seagulls know they face a major test against Arsenal, but there’s genuine reason for optimism. They’ve won their last two home league games against reigning Premier League champions, showing they can rise to the occasion at the Amex.
That said, their recent record against Arsenal is poor — three straight defeats in all competitions, and no home league win in the last six meetings (D2, L4). Fabian Hürzeler’s side are 7/2 with William Hill to stun the champions.

Arsenal finally ended their 22‑year wait for a Premier League title last season, and their defence has begun flawlessly. They’re one of only two sides with a 100% record after three games — Manchester City being the other — and look defensively assured once again.
Mikel Arteta’s men arrive on the south coast having won all seven of their matches in all competitions this season, while their run of nine straight Premier League victories is their longest since 2004, the year they lifted the title.
The Gunners will aim to strike early and control the game from the front. They’ve scored first in nine of their last ten away league matches, and are 4/7 with William Hill to open the scoring once again.
