Brighton vs Arsenal prediction
Arsenal’s perfect league start and record of conceding only once in four matches provide a clear basis for considering an away win.
However, Brighton’s home advantage and attacking form make this a challenging fixture rather than a straightforward selection.
Goals would be a better option for the match as history shows both sides getting goals in the majority of the head-to-head matches.
